Film by Jean-Michel Carré.
In late 1994, in the Cynon Valley in southern Wales, the Tower Mine, which had been closed for several months, was bought by the miners as a collective after they pooled their severance pay. When the director arrived on site—where he would remain for a year—the mine was still managed by its employee-shareholders and had never been more profitable. A chronicle of a self-management experiment, its practices, and its implications.
Press review: “(...) through his directorial choices—weaving together testimonies and footage of the work—the filmmaker highlights the nature of labor, how it can keep people standing tall, and the true reasons it can bring them down.” L’Humanité, Michel Guilloux
Screening followed by a discussion with Federico Rossin, film historian.
Nov. 4–12. Local Testimony Exhibition: a collection of testimonies gathered in the town will be on display at the Bertholène Library and during the screening of the film *Charbons ardents*.
