This roundtable explores Bisbee ’17 (2018), a non-fiction feature film about one of the most infamous anti-labor actions in United States history, the so-called “Bisbee Deportation” of 1917, in which a sheriff-led posse of two thousand men forcibly removed twelve hundred striking copper miners from the town of Bisbee, Arizona, and abandoned them in the New Mexico desert. Exploring past, present, and memory in the centennial year of the deportation, the film is built around both the historical event and how the town of Bisbee has confronted this part of its past. The essays in this roundtable provide a variety of perspectives on both the film and the deportation itself.
