Josey Aimes is based on Lois Jenson, who started working in the mines in 1975 and endured thirteen years of harassment before filing her first lawsuit. Jenson v. Eveleth Mines was settled in 1998, ten years after it was first filed, and over twenty years after the harassment began.
Charlize Theron wanted to react to the crowd in the Union meeting without rehearsal, so it would feel authentic. Because the heckling was unscripted, it took Richard Jenkins almost five minutes to quiet them. Theron was so uncomfortable during this scene, she broke out in hives. "That was, I think in my entire career, the most devastating thing I've ever encountered."
Some of the women standing up in the last courtroom scene were real plaintiffs.
All of the harassment depicted in the movie really happened to various women. Two women were trapped in porta-potties that were tipped while they were inside. Miners ejaculated onto female miner's clothes in lockers three times. Many more incidents of harassment occurred than could be shown in a two hour movie.
The actors and actresses relied on locals to perfect their accents. Instead of a dialect coach, they would go to local bars.
"Hank Aimes: My name is Hank Aimes and I've been a miner all my life. And I've never been ashamed of it until now. You know when we take our wives and daughters to the company barbecue, I don't hear any of them calling them those names like bitches and whores and worse. I don't see anyone grab them by their privates or drawing pictures of them on the bathroom walls, it's unspeakable. Unspeakable! So what's changed? She's still my daughter! It's a heck of a thing, to watch one of your own get treated that way. You're all supposed to be my friends, my brothers. Well, right now I don't have a friend in this room. In fact the only one I'm not ashamed of is my daughter."
"Bill White: What are you supposed to do when the ones with all the power are hurting those with none? Well for starters, you stand up. Stand up and tell the truth. You stand up for your friends. You stand up even when you're all alone. You stand up."
