Someone killed Frank Little, and by the end of this film, you'll have a pretty good idea who.Someone killed Frank Little, and by the end of this film, you'll have a pretty good idea who. A union organiser with the anarcho-syndicalist IWW (the Wobblies), Little went to Butte, Montana to help striking copper miners, protesting low pay and conditions so bad that miners had a better chance of dying on the job than soldiers had of dying in battle in the ongoing war. Using innovative documentary techniques that link these historical events with Butte's present, this beautiful film as won several prestigious awards.
