The film looks interesting too!
“A Woman's Work” directed by A.R. Ephraim
As location scouts described it in 2024:
“'A Woman’s Work' is a drama about a young woman in rural Kentucky who works as a coal miner to provide for her two younger sisters after losing her parents to the opioid epidemic."

9. A Way (2005). Precise crystallization of Farocki's obsessions into 14m. Asks how production and destruction relate. War creates a rationale for automation while automation waits to be used on the battlefield. Reminds me of Palantir's Karp saying tech must align with nationalism to have a purpose.
