Underpaid. Undervalued. Underestimated.

Based on the book “The Broken Ground” by Ned MacDonald, this feature length historical documentary explores the rise and fall of the Inverness Coal Mines and town through interviews, archival footage, photography and more. From the entrance of the infamous coal developer, William Penn Hussey, to the strikes of 1909, these are stories that shaped the legacy of western Cape Breton Island.
