Original Toronto Star caption: Barbara Kopple says she didn't consciously use her femininity as a weapon while trying to make movie about a coal strike in Kentucky; but I'm quite sure it served me as a shield; she says in interview with Star movie critic Clyde Gilmour. If I'd been a big broad-shouldered male trying to make the same film at the same time. I'd have finished up dead. Literally dead. But she had their protection.
