Synopsis
“Film questions whether the encouragement of very low paid jobs and schemes – both in general and specifically how they function in the area affected by the closure of the Consett steelworks in 1980 – is a sufficiently visionary response to the question of survival in post-industrial Britain. Local people talk about their experiences, an escapologist performs and a drag act sings. Plus drama sequence in which Bill tells Rose that making a fortune is easy.” – BFI.
