A leading documentarian with a gift for capturing emotional dimension
and for being in the right place at the right time, Barbara Kopple
became interested in films by involving them in clinical psychology
studies. She became an assistant on several documentary projects,
and then moved on to directing, spending four years filming a
wage conflict between miners and their employer in Kentucky. The
result was Harlan County USA, which won an Oscar in 1976 and established
Kopple's reputation. Kopple
again explored labor battles with 1990's American Dream, and her
work since has focused on everything from the JFK assassination
to Mike Tyson to Woody Allen's tour of Europe with his jazz ensemble.
