North Country needs broader perspec By Carla Batchelor + WCnewsmagazine In real life, Lois Jenson was one of the first women to be hired to work for the Eveleth Iron Mine in northem Minnesota. Jenson was a single mother of two children who was trying to make ends meet for her family. Affirmative action gave these women the chance they needed to work in the mines, but the work they were doing was grueling and rough. While the women who worked in the mines, including Jenson, were able to get the work done, the harassment from their male co-workers made the conditions unbearable. The women were terrified to make any sort of complaint due to the backlash that might follow. After years of sexual harassment and embarrassment, Jenson filed a grievance against the company in 1984. The complaint was sent to the Minnesota Human Rights Department. After a review of Jensons case, the state of Minnesota decided that the Eveleth mine must pay Jenson $11,000 in damages, but the company refused to pay. Over the next 14 years, Jenson, a fellow co-worker and lawyers fought Eveleth all the way to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The ruling awarded Jenson and fellow plaintiffs 3.5 million dollars after years of trails that examined every aspect of their personal and professional life. After combining the settlements and legal fees, Eveleth had to pay over 15 million dollars. Hollywood is known for taking real-life stories and fictionalizing them on the big screen. This was the case for North Country. While Lois Jenson was a real living and breathing woman, Josey Aimes (played by Charlize Theron) was a dramatization of Jenson. While Charlize acted within the caliber of her Oscar nomination, the movie was too padded to make a significant social impact. The film runs 126 minutes, but the audience gets impatient after the first hour due to the slow pace of the movie. That is, until the end when all of the sudden the movie is over without leaving the audience with the satisfaction that something was actually accomplished. The director, Niki Caro, who also directed Whale Rider, did not do the actual story of Lois Jenson and her fellow co-workers justice. Caro placed too much emphasis on the steps which landed March 29 Fifth Annual Gender Conference: Gender across Cultures 9 am 4 pm - University Center Author: Dorothy Allison 7 pm - University Center Slam Poet: Maya Del Valle 9 pm - Illusions March 30 Author: Ayun Halliday 2 pm - UC Theater e and ending Commentary the women at the mine and then in the court room and not enough on the final outcome. The risks taken by Jenson and her co-workers in real life were bold and courageous because of the male dominated hierarchy they were standing Up to. In the movie, the screens depicting the gruesome and heart-wrenching actions forced the audience to evaluate their own feelings on the situation based on what was being watched on screen. These scenes were where the movie really reached out and touched the audience, leaving a lasting impact. While the real life the Jenson v. Eveleth Mines case was not officially decided until 1998, the movie was not shot until February of 2005. This gap left plenty of time to give North Country a proper ending rather than the cut-off ending the audience was left with. While there are certain movies that fade to black and end with a written paragraph of denouement, North Country is not that kind of movie. In order to make this movie more effective, the cheesiness and lack of credibility of the courtroom scenes could have used a touch up, possibly by Dick Wolf, the Law and Order writer and creator, due to his success with the Law and Order series and subsequent spin-offs. The significance of the trial could have been explored on a broader level rather than just within the Aimes family and the state of Minnesota. For example, this court case, which was a direct result of the treatment at the mines, led to mandatory sexual harassment laws and policies. These policies changed the workplace for women across the country. A follow up would also have brought a proper ending to this potentially great movie. Regardless of the need for improvements on screen, the two Oscar nominations received by both Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand for their individual role were definitely deserved. Overall, there is no doubt that this movie is important in a historical and social context, but it will not be remembered for making a significant social impact like the movies Crash or Brokeback Mountain, which is sad due to the significant impact that Lois Jenson made on the lives and jobs of women in this country,
