The scene is from a new documentary film, “The Captive,” produced through the National Council of Churches under the sponsorship of eight member denominations. Tracing the plight of an actual man whose one skill, digging coal, is now obsolete, the documentary calls attention to pockets of poverty throughout the country and seeks to stimulate concern over ways to free the nation’s “captive poor.” The Council on International Nontheatrical Events gave “The Captive” one of its 1964 Golden Eagle Film Awards and included it among films chosen to represent the U.S. at major overseas film festivals.
