3. Germinal

If you haven't seen it, it's a French film about (coincidentally) miners in 1800s France. They're being exploited by the mine owners, but they eventually turn on them. The depictions of poverty and desperation are surreal. There's a scene where some miner wives ...uh... remove the Company Store owner's "private parts" that's really grueling.

Great film about Labor vs Corporations. But hard to shrug off.
