Summary: 5 Stars
This is a touching true-life, coming-of-age story of four boys growig up in the closeknit mining town of Coalwood, West Virginia during the 1950's.

The boys' adolesent adventures are played out against the background of cold war paranoia and life in a paternalistic mining company. Reminisent of Stand By Me.
