Overview
The ill-fated coal mining communities in North East England are the subject of this inspired documentary by multi-media artist Bill Morrison. Their story is told entirely without words, yet the film is far from silent: it features a remarkable original score by the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.

As I can acknowledge the beautiful cinematography throughout the film, I still fail relating to it. Maybe I'm just too far away (both in time and feeling) from what the folks there went through, with the miners 84-85 strike. Not that I'm unable to empathize, but it'd possibly have been more meaningful if I was more connected to the events - the deal is, the movie failed to connect me. Jóhann Jóhannsson's soundtrack, though, is a gem. I can and I will experience that again. I can't say the same for the movie.
