In the Veins is a new short film that resonates through time, using over a century of archive footage to shine a light onto the face of the mining heritage of Yorkshire and the North East of England.
A story of hardship and hope, division and defiance, perseverance and pride; this is not a history lesson, it’s an emotional journey that digs deep into the heart of a community built on coal.
This film will be paired with a 1985 Yorkshire Television documentary The Longest Year, a retrospective on the yearlong strike first aired on 3 March 1985, as the Miners' Strike came to an end.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
