It’s important to my sister; therefore it’s important to us

*A young woman in rural Kentucky works as a coal miner to provide for her two younger sisters after losing her parents to the opioid epidemic.*

Director's Statement:

A Woman’s Work is an accurate portrayal of life in an Appalachian coal-mining town. It’s a female-driven story within the male-dominated world of coal mining. At its core, however, it's a family drama about a woman who is struggling to provide for her younger sisters after the death of her parents.

This film seeks to capture the true nature of Appalachia and its people unlike the often damaging and stereotypical portrayals of this region. When I volunteered for several months in Appalachia, teaching and assisting in providing medical care, the region became very dear to me and spurred my interest in making a film about the area and the people. During my time in the region, I met some of the smartest, hardworking, and generous people I've ever encountered in my life, and I hope to bring that perspective to the screen. 

A Woman’s Work will also aid the community of Harlan, Kentucky by providing numerous jobs, investing in the local area through location rentals, and providing an authentic and respectful portrayal of Appalachian people. As 43.8% of Harlan County residents live below the poverty line, the benefit A Woman’s Work would bring to the community is substantial.

A Woman's Work is written, directed and produced by Alex Ephraim.
