Big non-commercial film

Art is not

about understanding people by reason, but by emotion. There are subtitles in the beginning of the movie that it is a story of changing the truth, the first successful sexual harassment class action lawsuit in American history. A powerful subject. Just like Da Zang Auntie's "Never Compromise", it is a social and political wake-up film.

Sexual harassment, how realistic is this topic around us? For this kind of special injury, why do victims often choose to acquiesce? Maybe only experience will have more say.


You want to, ask her, if she doesn't give it, don't force it; the aunt taught us this way when the classmates exchanged toys in kindergarten, I always remember...what about you?

    Admire the courage of the heroine of this movie for 14 years to fight. This real lawsuit is probably more moving than this movie, because it brought unprecedented changes and pays tribute to all the plaintiffs who participated in this case.

North Country quotes

  • Hank Aimes: My name is Hank Aimes and I've been a miner all my life. And I've never been ashamed of it until now. You know when we take our wives and daughters to the company barbecue, I don't hear any of them calling them those names like bitches and whores and worse. I don't see anyone grab them by their privates or drawing pictures of them on the bathroom walls, it's unspeakable. Unspeakable! So what's changed? She's still my daughter! It's a heck of a thing, to watch one of your own get treated that way. You're all supposed to be my friends, my brothers. Well, right now I don't have a friend in this room. In fact the only one I'm not ashamed of is my daughter.

    Josey Aimes: [testifying] Lady, you sit in your nice house, clean floors, your bottled water, your flowers on Valentine's Day, and you think you're tough? Wear my shoes. Tell me tough. Work a day in the pit, tell me tough.

    Lawyer: I'm sure we're all sufficiently impressed, Mrs. Aimes.

    Josey Aimes: There's no "Mrs." here.
