The Broken Ground (Feature Documentary)

Underpaid. Undervalued. Underestimated.

This engaging feature documentary explores the history of Inverness Coal Mines, from the discovery of abundant quality coal in a remote settlement on Cape Breton Island to the arrival of wealthy foreign developers and miners from around the world. But as the years go by, the exploitation of the land and workers threatens the survival of Inverness Town and its people. Based on the book by Ned MacDonald.
