Miners' Strike

Twenty five years ago the miners' strike was a key turning point in modern British history. From March 2009 to March 2010, we will be gathering your video stories and comments about how the miners' strike has affected the course of the lives of those involved. If you were a striking miner, a miner who did not go on strike, if you policed or documented the picket lines, were a political supporter for or against the strike, lived in a mining community at the time or reported on the strike, we would like to hear from you. Contact: videonation@bbc.co.uk or why not create your own video and send it to us via our contribute page.
