Heritage Open Days Film Screening & Discussion

Discover a rich history of community spirit, solidarity and struggle for Berwick Heritage Open Days on Saturday 20 September.

Join us for a film screening of CAN’T BEAT IT ALONE (1985) followed by a discussion. This film digs deeper into the themes of our latest Film Library exhibition MINERS’ WEEKEND SCHOOL (1984). Produced by Amber Films’ Current Affairs Unit, this documentary explores the collaborative efforts of various grassroots organisations in North East England during the mid-1980s.

The film brings together voices from groups such as the Easington Miners' Support Group, Whittle Women's Support Group, Tyneside CND groups, the Save Druridge Bay Campaign, Billingham Against Nuclear Dumping, and the Greenham Common Women. It examines their collective strategies in addressing industrial decline, environmental concerns, and the broader socio-political challenges of the era.
