"The ill-fated coal mining communities in North East England are the subject of this inspired documentary". 50 minutes of mainly archive footage from Durham/Sunderland mines with no commentary, just a slow sombre music soundtrack (fairly Gorecki-ish, but by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson) which leaves you to interpret your own messages. Very powerful, particularly the contrast between how these communities were so entrenched with a single purpose then, but now a few decades all traces have been obliterated.
