Tull Stories will release Daniel Gordon’s documentary feature Strike: An Uncivil War in the UK and Ireland.

The doc tells the story of the year-long miners’ strike of 1984/85 – considered one of the UK’s most violent and divisive industrial disputes. The film pays particular focus to the bloody Battle of Orgreave, which took place on June 18, 1984. The media subsequently appeared to lay blame for the violence at the feet of the strikers, with Gordon’s feature aiming to overturn this.

The film also explores Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher’s unrelenting mission to break the role of unions in British working class society.
