Brassed Off
The film is set ten years after the year-long strike in 1984–85 by the National Union of Mineworkers in Britain. Before the privatisation of British Coal, a wave of pit closures took place. Depleted of resources following the long strike, the miners were unable to continue a resistance against the policies of the government. Many had been in debt ever since the strike, and were prepared to take redundancy money whilst it was on offer.
