It is 40 years since the miners’ strike opened a great wound in the soul of the nation and this three-part series re-tells the story from a new perspective, and explore how its effects are still being felt in the lives of people today. The first film, Community, looks at how the strike proved bitterly divisive, nowhere more so than in one Derbyshire pit village, Shirebrook, that came to be split down the middle.
