North Country


I just watched the movie "North Country" with Charlize Theron. I'll start by saying she is top on my list. This is a great movie about the struggles of a group of women, the first women, to work in a mine. The degree of harassment that these ladies had to endure is appalling. I can't imagine the strength that these women possessed to be able to continue to work in that atmosphere. Imagine going to work everyday were you were constantly being called horrible names, being physically abused, being constantly ridiculed, how long could put up with it? The worst part is everyone in the company including the president believes these actions are just fine. So you can't complain or your fired, you really need the money for your family. So how long would you put up with it?

All I'm saying is this was a great movie. Those characters in the movie really inspired me. If you get a chance go rent it.
