Boxcar Bertha
“Life made her an outcast. Love made her an outlaw.”
CrimeDrama
"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.
VIBE
A raw, violent ride through the Depression, this film feels like a desperate fight against a corrupt system. It's a gritty, no-holds-barred look at two outlaws taking on the establishment with a rebellious spirit.
