The Coal Miner's Daughter tells the story of country music legend Loretta Lynn from her humbling origins in rural Kentucky to fame. Sissy Spacek plays a singer full of determination and strength. With Tommy Lee Jones playing Lynn's husband and manager, the film sets the backdrop of Lynn and her life: poverty and motherhood in an oppressive male industry that didn't take too kindly to its female stars. Coal Miner's Daughter is a moving tribute to a legendary artist who battled insurmountable adversity.
