Short description
A fictionalized account of the first major successful sexual harassment case in the United States -- Jenson vs. Eveleth Mines, where a woman who endured a range of abuse while working as a miner filed and won the landmark 1984 lawsuit.
What's left behind the scenes
- To ensure greater authenticity, Charlize Theron insisted on filming the union meeting without rehearsals. The actress later recounted that the five minutes it took Richard Jenkins to calm the crowd shouting insults and jeers felt like an eternity.
- The actors did not enlist the services of a linguist to help them with the correct accent. Instead, they went to bars and listened to conversations of local residents.
- 400 real miners played in the scene of the union meeting.
- Gloria was based on Pat Kosmach, a divorced mother of five who went to work in the mine to support her family. She died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis before the trial concluded.
- The weather conditions on the set were far from comfortable. The temperature in Minnesota rarely rose above freezing.
- The scenes in the mine were filmed in a real mine in Silver City, New Mexico.
- During the filming of the bar fight, Woody Harrelson accidentally broke Chris Malki's nose.
- Woody Harrelson found it difficult to play the famous hockey player. For starters, the actor doesn't know how to ice skate.
- To prepare for her role, Charlize Theron spent some time with families of women working in the mines.
