In the Veins:
coal communities

Ben Lamb, 2024. 28 mins

A new short film that resonates through time, using over a century of archive footage. Commissioned to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Miners Strike, the film has been created using a board of local voluntary curators who have selected film and imagery to tell the story of coal and its connection with their communities.

Supported by Film Hub North with National Lottery funding on behalf of BFI Film Audience Network.
