On 18 June 1984, the British police crushed a strike by miners in South Yorkshire – with fatal consequences for the trade union movement. Seventeen years later, Jeremy Deller organised a re-enactment of this historic confrontation. It is both a narrative of history from the grassroots and an emotional re-experience for many of those involved.
