First-time director Owen Gower’s film applauds the determination of the people who endured Britain’s longest strike in the face of near starvation and police brutality.
This screening will feature a Q&A with Director & Producer Owen Gower and Executive Producer Christopher Hird.
Epitomising the perennial ideological struggles between trade unions and Westminster politicians, the 1984/5 Miners’ Strike was a seminal event which truly divided the nation.
Using much never-before-seen footage and interviews with many of the men and women who refused to back down from their beliefs, Still The Enemy Within packs a powerful emotional punch. It also provides a sobering counterpoint to the uplifting hit film Pride, based on events from the same period.
Still The Enemy Within, dir. Owen Gower, UK 2014, 112 mins.
