The Miners' Campaign Tapes DVD (BFI) (1984)

The Miners' Campaign Tapes DVD (BFI) (1984)

A powerful BFI documentary collection made during the 1984 miners' strike, six films capturing solidarity, activism, and the human cost of industrial conflict through grassroots voices.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and a serious collector of films and books that had something to say. This is one of those pieces.

This set matters because it is not polished hindsight, it is documentation made in the moment. It captures people organising, resisting, and trying to be heard, and it preserves the reality of a national rupture that shaped communities for generations. It is history, but it is also a lesson in how media can be used to challenge power.

If you like British documentary that is politically important, socially grounded, and genuinely moving, you will love this. It is a serious piece of historical cinema, and a brilliant addition to any BFI shelf.
