Bisbee '17

It's 2017 in Bisbee, Arizona, an old copper-mining town just miles from the Mexican boundary. The town's dense community prepares to honor the 100th wedding anniversary of Bisbee's darkest hr: the well known Bisbee Deportation of 1917, during which 1,200 striking miners were strongly taken from their homes, eradicated to the middle of the desert, and also entrusted to die. Townspeople challenge this violent, misinterpreted past by organizing dramatic entertainments of the intensifying strike. These dramatized scenes are based on subjective versions of the story and also "guided," in a sense, by residents with contradictory sights of the event. Deeply personal segments torn from family history build towards an enormous restaging of the deportation itself on the precise day of its 100th anniversary.
