Mrs Thatcher Vs the Miners

IMDB Rating
7.8
Documentary examining how Margaret Thatcher defeated Britain's coal miners in the 1984 miners' strike and in doing so changed the face of Britain forever.
On the 5th of March 1985, a crowd gathered in a South Yorkshire pit village to watch a sight none of them had seen in a year. The villagers, many of them in tears, cheered and clapped as the men of Grimethorpe Colliery marched back to work accompanied by the village’s world-famous brass band. The miners and their families had endured months of hardship. It had all been for nothing. The miners had lost the strike called on March 6th 1984. They would lose a lot more in the years to come. But was it a good thing for the country that the miners lost their last battle?
