The 1984-85 strike was many women were moved by, not only the impact this was to have on their own lives, but on their whole communities and this proved to be the catalyst for many women to become involved, not only in the soup kitchens, but politically!!
This unique film acknowledges the critical role that many of these brave, pioneering women undertook in standing up against the might of the British
government and how that struggle inevitably brought about changes in them.
Unique recollections from women of different backgrounds including archival footage of "Battle of Orgreave" , PM Margaret Thatcher, Mick McGahey and Arthur Scarghill, President of NUM.
Much has been written and filmed about the political angle of the strike and the men's views on it, but to date, very little has been recorded from the women's perspective. The 1984-85 strike was unique in that many women were moved by, not only the impact this was to have on their own lives, but their whole communities and inevitably their whole way of life. It roused a sleeping giant and proved to be the catalyst for many women to become involved in the year long battle in ways they had never imagined. Newtongrange Mining Museum Scotland, had a screening of the film "Here We Go - Women Living the Strike!" on April 3rd 2009. It was met with great enthusiasm.
