Forty years after the national miners' strike, this film tells the story of Polmaise colliery, the Stirlingshire pit where miners were the first to go out and the last to return to work in 1985. Hearing from miners who were on the frontline, as well as their families and journalists who covered the strike, this documentary reveals the inside story of the workers who went out for 56 weeks to save the last village pit in Scotland
