The film\u2019s central focus is the 1917 illegal removal of more than a thousand striking mine works, and many of their local supporters, by the mining company Phelps Dodge\u2014a scarring event now known simply as the \u201cBisbee Deportation.\u201d Greene went about the examination, in part, by involving present-day residents of the town in reenacting key aspects of the deportation event, an innovation that effectively transforms the film from a straightforward historical documentary into a far more complex examination of history, memory, and memorialization. Greene\u2019s other critically-acclaimed films include the Gotham Awards-nominated \u201cActress\u201d (2014), \u201cFake It So Real\u201d (2011), and \u201cKati With An I\u201d (2010). He currently serves as Filmmaker-in-Chief at the Murray Center for Documentary Journalism at the University of Missouri. \u201cBisbee \u201917\u201d is the subject of an AHR roundtable titled \u201cRe-creating the \u2018Bisbee Deportation\u2019 on Film,\u201d which appears in the June 2019 issue.","author_name":"AHR Interview","author_url":"http:\/\/www.americanhistoricalreview.org","html":"
