Strike! The Women Who Fought Back
Forty years ago, one of the longest and most hostile industrial disputes Britain had ever seen erupted across the country. Coal miners from all over Wales took to the picket lines to save their pits and their jobs. But it wasn’t just the men who decided to fight. In their own words, with unflinching honesty, humour and detail, this film is the story of six women from across the south Wales mining valleys. It tells how they played an essential role in sustaining a bitter year-long struggle, and how it in turn would transform their own lives forever.
