Boxcar Bertha (1972)
‘Boxcar’ Bertha Thompson, a transient woman in Arkansas during the violence-filled Depression of the early ’30s, meets up with rabble-rousing union man ‘Big’ Bill Shelly and the two team up to fight the corrupt railroad establishment. Based on Sister of the Road, the 1937 pseudo-autobiography of fictional character Bertha Thompson, written by anarchist physician Dr. Ben L. Reitman.
