Audience Member Valuable account from some of its most militant activists of the strike which sadly fails to address the important lesson of the reasons for its defeat, preferring to end with bland feel good statements that mystify and hide the fact that this destroyed the working class as a political force in the UK, a lesson still unlearned after more than 30 years. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The Miners Strike as told by those that lived it, a truly important film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Very one sided documentary about the 84/85 Miners' strike. In the vein of a David Peace novel, this plays out like an epic war of the people. I took away the sense of community and belonging. They were chaotic times, but at least people cared and were involved. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Utterly heartwrenching but finishes on a surprisingly upbeat note. You will feel an overwhelming urge to listen to Dropkick Murphys' cover of Which Side Are You On straight after so make sure you have it to hand. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Great topic, so boring. We have 5? Interviewees expressing the same thoughts... Way too long Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, that was a cracker of a documentary. No narration necessary, just the people themselves: proud, passionate and unbowed. My lessons (as if I needed them): fight for what you believe in; do not trust the media & always, always question what you're told; NEVER trust the Government (no matter what their colour); and never, ever put your faith in the police.
