Not a film as such but I watched something on Netflix last night about the Miners striking in the eighties, it was a really good watch.
I can briefly remember the strike and my mates picketing and being encouraged to go with them, Recall also being asked to go on marches in London as the unions were putting free coach travel on.
To date I believe that families/friends are still split apart based on miners returning to work before the end of the strike.
One guy in the documentary told his father he was going back to work and when asking the father if he’d want his son at his funeral allegedly he actually said hopefully I’ll be at his…wow
I can see why thatcher was despised and still is to date
