Memories of June 1984 during the year-long dispute, when the bloodiest single day of the strike occurred with the Battle of Orgreave. With new revelations about the day and its aftermath, this documentary explores the lasting consequences for law and order in the UK because of the way the strike was policed. The film follows three striking miners who went to Orgreave to picket the coking plant and ended up victims of police violence and facing a riot charge which carried a maximum life sentence
