Barbara Kopple is an American film director known primarily for her documentary work. She is credited with pioneering a renaissance of cinema vérité, and bringing the historic French style to a modern American audience. Known for her "fly-on-the-wall" filmmaking style, Kopple captured raw, real-life events without interrupting the action. She has won two Academy Awards, for Harlan County, USA (1976), about a Kentucky miners' strike, and for American Dream (1990), the story of the 1985-86 Hormel strike in Austin, Minnesota, making her the first woman to win two Oscars in the Best Documentary category.
