POV Filmmaker Robert Greene’s new documentary “Bisbee ’17” looks at Bisbee, Ariz., as locals reenact the 100th anniversary of one of the darkest chapters in the history of their once-thriving mining community. On July 12, 1917, nearly 2,000 striking miners — many of them immigrants who had aligned with the IWW union — were violently taken from their homes by a force organized by the sheriff and the large mining corporations. They were forced into cattle cars, then abandoned in the middle of the New Mexico desert. 10 p.m. KOCE
