Miners' Strike in the North East

The 1984-85 Miners' Strike seen from the point-of-view of both men and women fighting together to protect a way of life.
These unseen films, produced and collected by Gateshead-based independent production company Trade Films, look at the fight of the miners during and shortly after the 1984-85 Miners' Strike. While many focus on the traditional male-orientated side of the dispute, several take a different approach by focusing their attention on the wives, mothers and daughters of miners, who fought just as hard as the men to protect jobs and a way of life. Trade Films was founded in 1982, and specialised in political documentaries and TV productions with an emphasis on industry in the North East and the trade union movement.
