Northern Lights (1978)



In rural North Dakota during World War I, a struggling farmer decides to become an activist for the burgeoning Nonpartisan League, a labor union attempting to organize the region's farmers against the railroads and banks which are consistently undercutting their livelihood with unfair payments.

From memory: Great committed independent production with beautiful b&w cinematography illustrates a lesser-known historical political struggle.
