  Where to Watch

From the coalfields of West Virginia to the factories of Baltimore, Hazel Dickens has lived the songs she sings. A pioneering woman in bluegrass and country music, Hazel influenced generations of songwriters and musicians with songs of hard work, hard times, and hardy souls. The National Endowment for the Arts awarded her a National Heritage Fellowship in 2001, and the Washington Post has described her as "a living legend of American music, a national treasure," one who has bolstered working people at picket lines and union rallies throughout the land with piercing vocals that powered the soundtracks for films Harlan County USA and Matewan.
