Strike: An Uncivil War<\/em><\/strong> tells the story of the Battle of Orgreave, the most violent confrontation between miners and police during the 1984\/85 Miners\u2019 Strike in Great Britain. The year long Miners\u2019 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<\/em> follows the events at Orgreave, which took place on 18th June 1984. Witness at first hand the stories and recollections of the people on the front lines of this incredible moment in time, which split communities and the nation in two, and whose ripples still resonate to this very day.<\/p>\n

Strike: An Uncivil War<\/em> won the Audience Award at this year’s Sheffield Documentary Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The film will be screened with the support of the Bristol Radical History Group who will also be showing Battling for Bristol<\/em><\/strong>, a ten minute film on the city’s radical past.<\/p>\n

There will also be a short Q&A including David Donovan, a miner in the Dulais Valley at the time of the strike, who became a link between striking Welsh miners and the London Lesbian and Gays Support Group. His key role was dramatised in the film “Pride”.<\/p>\n
