DEFIANT: County Durham, The Miners’ Strike & its Legacy [Film]

Full description

Film Screening.

We are proud to work alongside Redhills Durham to organise and support the screening of this documentary from Lonely Tower Film & Media. It is a film that captures the in depth story of Durham’s part in the 1984/85 Miners’ Strike, including the devastation wrought on our pit communities following the final colliery closures.

Focusing on local voices and the testimony of those that were there, Defiant features both the situation within the County, and how wider events (including the Battle of Orgreave) created shock waves on our streets.

It is a story of community, struggle and a defiant pride that still defines County Durham.

Directed by Marie Gardiner and Mark Thorburn.
