This seven-minute film directed by Robert Greene sources unused material from his feature film Bisbee ’17 to deconstruct the circumstances around the two deaths that occurred during the Bisbee Deportation on July 12, 1917. That day, amid a labor strike, over 1,000 mostly immigrant miners were kidnapped and transported out of Arizona to the New Mexico desert. James Brew, a miner, was in bed when deputies arrived to arrest him. Brew shot through the door, killing deputy Orson McRae, and was then shot and killed. Marking the 100-year anniversary of the deportation, Bisbee residents describe the historical events that transpired in their town and participate in a dramatic reenactment in which they consider—and film—different versions of the confrontation between Brew and McRae.
