Description

With flawless construction and impeccable detail, Germinal chronicles the conflicts, lusts, and deprivation of life in the coal fields of nineteenth-century France.

A father and three of seven children work brutal hours, facing such hazards as landslides, fire, and poisoned air, to scrape together enough money for food.

When their lodger, Etienne, shares ideas of a workers' revolt, the family gradually embraces his plans.

Soon the settlement is aflame with resolve to strike for better wages and working conditions.

Savage and horrifying events ensue, as miners clash with management and with each other.
