By now, you should be familiar with the routine (and if you’re not, you’re out of a job).

On June 18, 1984, a significant event known as the Battle of Orgreave took place during the strike, resulting in the most violent day. In the second part of this documentary, we delve into the stories of Arthur Critchlow, Stef Wysocki, and Ernie Barber, three miners who were charged with rioting but ultimately found not guilty due to allegations of corruption. This raises concerns about the fairness of law enforcement and the justice system. – Ali Catterall

Film choice
Control (Anton Corbijn, 2007), 6am, Sky Cinema Greats
“I no longer have any control.” The short life of Ian Curtis, lead singer of Joy Division, was filled with struggles. Anton Corbijn’s biopic, which was based on his widow Debbie’s book, focuses more on Curtis’s personal life rather than the thriving music scene in Manchester that inspired his influential band. Sam Riley gives a remarkable portrayal of Curtis, who was plagued by epilepsy, a marriage at a young age to Debbie (a phenomenal performance by Samantha Morton), and his feelings for another woman, Annik (played by Alexandra Maria Lara).
