Twenty Years Ago Today
Channel 4 tonight screened a feature-length documentary about the 1984 miner's strike. (Warning: I think this link will change to something else very quickly.) Here is a website that covers an artist's project staging a re-enactment of the pivotal battle in the "civil war" that was the miner's strike - the failed attempt to close the coke-works at Orgreave in Yorkshire. And it looks like the BBC will have another documentary on the strike on the 27th.
