Dreadful Memories: The Life of Sarah Ogan Gunning

Born in the coalfields of eastern Kentucky, Gunning suffered a life of bitter poverty which became the fuel for dozens of moving songs about working people, the mines, and the great coal strikes of the twenties and thirties. In Mimi Pickering's 1988 film, Gunning's a cappella roots music is intercut throughout the interviews and archival footage

Director: Mimi Pickering

Cast: Sarah Ogan Gunning, Pete Seeger
