🐾 Arya's Approval – Chief Drama Officer

"Right darlings, this miners' documentary collection is powerful stuff! I love stories about solidarity and standing up for what's right – very pack mentality, which I completely respect.

Six different documentaries showing the real truth from the picket lines? That's proper investigative work! As someone who believes in loyalty and fighting for family, I appreciate the courage these filmmakers showed.

This gets my official paw of approval for historical importance, brave storytelling, and documentary excellence that still matters today."
