Description

To mark the 30th anniversary of the end of 1984/5 miners strike, Bad Bonobo alongside Reportdigital.co.uk and Proud Archivist, will host an exhibition of photographs from the year long miners strike that were featured in the film Still the Enemy Within, as well screening the film itself on the 3rd March.

Still the EnemyWithin, is an award-winning documentary that gives a unique insight into one of history’s most dramatic events: the 1984-85 British Miners’ Strike. No experts. No politicians. Thirty years on, this is the raw emotional story of those who drove Britain’s longest strike.

Throughout the miners’ strike Reportdigital photographers stood alongside those fighting for their jobs and communities and endeavoured to picture the struggle from the viewpoint of those fighting back. This produced some of the most stark and iconic photographs from the period.

The film weaves these unique images, stunningly edited archive footage of the strike and never-before-seen interviews with the real key players of the strike: the miners themselves. Accompanied by a soulful, timely soundtrack, Still the Enemy Within brought audiences to tears with a two-minute standing ovation at the Sheffield Documentary Festival, where it won the festival’s prestigious Audience Award. It has also been selected for the prestigious HotDocs festival in Canada, as part of DocSoup.

Still the Enemy Within includes a moving contribution from Mike Jackson, founder of Lesbian And Gays Support the Miners, whose story is the basis for the hit film 'Pride'. It is ultimately a universal tale of ordinary people standing up for what they believe in.

The photographs capture the full gambit of emotions experienced during the strike. Both challenge us to look again at our past so that in the words of one miner, “we can still seek to do something about the future”.
