When a Coal Mining Film Becomes Prophetic

Описание: Coal built the modern world, so why has cinema largely ignored the people who mined it?

In this Reel Tunnel episode, Frank travels deep beneath the surface to explore how coal mining has been portrayed (or avoided) on screen, and what that says about class, labour, and cinematic storytelling.

This episode looks at why mining films are so rare, why they’re often about escape rather than work itself, and how history, politics, and audience taste shaped these stories.

Reel Tunnel is where film history meets curiosity, connecting movies across time, place, and social reality. If you love cinema that digs a little deeper, you’re in the right place.
