The film conjures the psychological impact as well as the physical toil endured by the miners, half of whom were immigrants from eastern Europe.
Testimonials from a Croatian miner detail the workers' efforts to fight against the employers, including their own newspaper and pamphlets to educate other employees on their rights.
The documentary connects images of present-day ruins with Anyox's sordid past, where labour exploitation and toxic working conditions thrived in the name of commerce.
Navigating a huge volume of literature is a challenge, but the film impressively translates these written artifacts into cinema, showcasing the devastation left behind.
