| The Miners' Hymns |
The former coal mining communities in North East England are the subject of this inspired documentary by multi-media artist Bill Morrison. Their story is told entirely without words, yet the film is far from silent: it features a remarkable original score by the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
Archive material charting the transfer of miners from the Durham coalfield to Stoke-on-Trent's collieries will precede Bill Morrison's elegant, elegiac film, and We Are Not Defeated, the story of the fight against pit closures, will be introduced by The North Staffs Miners' Wives Action Group.
