00:00All right, guys, listen up.
00:04Ben, you up with Joe.
00:06Is he even legal?
00:0717 yesterday!
00:12Ben trying it down there.
00:14Yeah, loving it.
00:16This is a good job for him.
00:18Don't go in tomorrow.
00:20I have to.
00:21We're way behind.
00:23You heard from the boys?
00:24No way.
00:25There were 35 miners down in the mine.
00:27They don't know exactly what happened at the moment.
00:29There's been an explosion at the mine.
00:34What happened up there?
00:35Where are they going yet?
00:36We need to make sure the recovery is safe.
00:39Recovery?
00:40All the men are dead.
00:46We'll bring them home.
00:48Whatever it takes, we'll bring them home.
00:51There are 28 families, all wanting the same thing.
00:54But the promise made to you is kept.
00:57That your men will not be abandoned.
01:01I need my husband.
01:02He can't stay there.
01:03I need to bury him.
01:06I hate driving when it's like this.
01:08You can stay in the bus if you want.
01:10I can't stop thinking about him.
01:15I can't leave him.
01:16It was a workplace death.
01:20Do you want to fight this?
01:21Are you for a judge?
01:22In the matter now before the court, a decision has been made that this prosecution is not going
01:27to proceed.
01:29The mine will be permanently sealed.
01:31That's the reality.
01:32No one is going to go in there ever again.
01:38So what are you going to do?
01:40We're going to stop them.
01:43This is an occupation.
01:45We're not going anywhere.
01:47If we know how they died, we know who has to be accountable.
01:55There's nothing of them, Mom.
01:57But you can't let go of it.
02:02I want the truth for my son.
02:05And I want justice.
02:08I would have given up a long time ago if it hadn't been for you.
02:11I would have given up a long time ago if it hadn't been for you in the last year.
