About
‘In the Veins’ is a short film that resonates through time, using over a century of archive footage to shine a light onto the face of the mining heritage of Yorkshire and the North East of England.
A story of hardship and hope, division and defiance, perserverance and pride; this is not a history lesson, it’s an emotional journey that digs deep into the heart of a community built on coal.
From villages, towns and communities that grew from the industry, the bonds and friendships fostered, to the formation of activist groups such a ‘Women Against Pit Closures’, ‘In the Veins’ celebrates the success, commiserates the demise and is a timely reminder about the need for a ‘just transition’ from fossil fuels to cleaner energy.
