Synopsis:
Inspired by true events, QUEEN OF COAL is a story of perseverance, passion, and dreams that defy gender boundaries. Carlita became the first female miner in a town where women were forbidden from entering the main source of local income: the coal mine. A superstition held that women brought bad luck and caused cave-ins, reserving mining work exclusively for men. As a trans woman, Carlita managed to break into the mine, disrupting the system from within and sparking the flame of a revolution.
