Josie Amiswho has just ended her unfortunate marriage, takes her children back to her hometown to join her parents. The fatherhas always hated his daughter because Josie’s high school childbirth experience made him think that his daughter is a promiscuous and slutty woman.

The men unscrupulously made sexual jokes on the female miners including Josie. The female miners always swallowed their anger, but Josie couldn't stand it.

    We always choose to be the silent majority, and we will never "empathize" with what others have experienced. Every humiliation you impose will make people reluctant to face and remember. And such a woman, she is strong and brave to face all this, dare to say no, she is more rational, dare to confront the whole town's economic source mining company in court, rather than really change a job and start anew or since then Fallen. "She just had a baby, she didn't rob a bank" is a very pointy sentence, it seems that Americans also have some kind of stubborn traditional concept of female chastity, she did nothing wrong, she just wanted to get a normal salary, think Going to the pub for a drink after get off work has become an extravagant hope. It's really touching. The final standing up is much better than "The Defender", which is very touching.

North Country quotes

  • Bill White: How old are you?

    Sherry: Nineteen. So you wanna dance?

    Bill White: I don't think you do. I'm wearing underwear older than that.

  • 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.
