1977 ยท 1 hr 25 mins
Independent Welsh filmmaker Karl Francis uses amateur and professional actors to explore the community impact of the 1975 closure of the Ogilvie Colliery in the Rhymney Valley, a few miles from his family home. Critical of the National Coal Board and the trade unions, the film focuses on the fractious interactions between politicians and union leaders, teasing out the forces that are attempting to divide the community.
Director: Karl Francis
Cast: Windsor Rees, Gwenllian Francis, Dai Morgan, Evan Jones
