À l'est de Walbrzych
Filmmaker Max Hureau crossed Eastern Europe filming and photographing the work and living conditions of coal miners. His fascination with this profession took him on a 4,340 mile journey from Polish Silesia to central Siberia where he discovered unspeakable human misery. Throughout the course of his journey, he met miners, miners’ wives and labor unionists who talked about what they lived, what they endured and how they fought to preserve their dignity. The filmmaker captured a critical record of a profession and a culture in the process of collapse even as the number of miners remains quite high.
