Which Side Are You On?

“The miners had featured prominently in Loach’s television work over the years, not because of his family background, but through the way they represented working-class struggle. ‘I didn’t know my uncles well on my father’s side – they died young,’ the director explained. ‘However, as always, there was great warmth shown to us when we met people during the strike. It’s easy to forget the extraordinary comradeship of those times.’”
