Marking the end of the year long Miners Strike of 1984/85 with a series of events. Cosy Cinema will presents this last event on Sunday 8th June 2025. .

STRIKE: AN UNCIVIL WAR
On 18 June 1984, at the height of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike, Orgreave Coking Plant in South Yorkshire became the site of the bloodiest day of the longest and most violent industrial dispute in British history.

The media subsequently appeared to lay blame for the violence at the feet of the strikers. Daniel Gordon’s comprehensive documentary doesn’t just overturn this fabrication, it portrays what took place as planned action on the part of the Thatcher government, with the Prime Minister determined to seek redress for the National Miners’ Union’s victory over the Conservative government in the early 1970s and to forever break the union’s role at the heart of British working class society.
Released on the 40th anniversary of the battle, and featuring first-hand accounts and archive footage, this is a searing portrait of that tragic event.
Content Guidance: Film contains scenes of protest violence.

Whether you lived through it, had family involved, or simply want to learn more about this crucial piece of local and national history, this screening is a must.

We are honoured to have members of the Orgreave Truth & Justice Campaign join us on the evening, Speaker John Dunn will introduce the film and Q&A session.

John will also share with the audience details about the next ORGREAVE ANNIVERSARY MARCH AND RALLY on Saturday 14 June 2025.

Stay after the film for a chance to chat, reflect, and share stories. Cosy Cinema is more than just a film night – it's a community.

We look forward to welcoming you all.
Doors open at 5pm; tickets for the evening are £3 on the door.
