How Green Was My Valley 1941

Rich is their humor! Deep are their passions! Reckless are their lives! Mighty is their story!

Directed by John Ford

Huw Morgan, the academically inclined youngest son in a proud family of Welsh coal miners, witnesses the tumultuous events of his young life during a period of rapid social change. At the dawn of the 20th-century, a miners' strike divides the Morgans: the sons demand improvements, and the father doesn't want to rock the boat.
