Premiering at Sheffield DocFest we're marking the 40th anniversary of The Battle of Orgreave with this incendiary new documentary.
Daniel Gordon’s feature documentary tells the story of the Battle of Orgreave, the most violent confrontation between miners and police during the 1984/85 Miners’ Strike in Great Britain.
The year long Miners’ Strike was the most divisive and violent industrial dispute that Britain has ever witnessed, and using powerful personal testimony, previously hidden government documents and a treasure trove of never before seen archive material, Strike: An Uncivil War follows in detail the events at Orgreave, which took place on 18th June 1984.
The preview screening on 18th June will be followed by a pre-recorded Q&A featuring Chris Peace and Kate Flannery (Orgreave Truth & Justice Campaign), Kevin Horne and Ian Mitchell (former miners) and director, Daniel Gordon.
