The Miners’ Strike of 1984/85 was the most divisive and violent industrial dispute that Britain has ever witnessed, and using powerful personal testimony, previously hidden government documents and a treasure trove of never before seen archive STRIKE: AN UNCIVIL WAR also tells the full story of the Battle of Orgreave, which took place on 18th June 1984.
The Strikes were not just about coal mines but touched on class, community, gender, relationships, and ideologies. It represented a clash between socialist and capitalist visions for Britain. The strike's impact left the country more divided, with unresolved questions.
“What has shocked me though was discovering the level of planning. From the very top. A government hell bent on destroying its own people.” - Director, Daniel Gordon
