Black Earth

Documentary feature film by Ricardo Íscar, shot almost entirely in a coal mine in the province of León (North of Spain). Breathtaking images of work in the dark, charismatic characters talking about fear and accidents, and joking while they work. One of the most daring films about mining, with classic films echoes and not without humor.
