    The Battle of Orgreave, 2002
    Director: Mike Figgis

Jeremy Deller investigates the relationships between the public and private spheres, and between ‘high’ and popular culture, through recordings, lectures, performances, exhibitions, publications and archive projects. An event-based collaborative project, The Battle of Orgreave (2002), directed by Mike Figgis, is a filmed re-enactment of a miners’ strike that took place in 1984. The strike led to a violent clash between miners and police at a South Yorkshire coking plant in the English mining town of Orgreave. In order to accurately reconstruct the event, Deller worked collaboratively with various groups, including those involved in the original strike and recruits from battle re-enactment societies from across the UK. The film reflects the profound energy of social collaboration.
