THE LETTER
THE LETTER is an artistic reinterpretation of a true event in the life of a rural miner who escaped an untimely death due to the design of the scaler equipment he was using.
The story is a collaborative production between Rhino, A Story Co and Getman corp, and offers an individualized perspective on the psychological and relational tension that mining can create for a young father. The very real danger that is eminent in the mines and only understood by those who live it.
