The Happy Lands

This is a true film using very few professional actors, using mainly local Fife folk to tell a story of struggle, poverty and the use of power by the authorities to over through the working man's struggle for a reasonable living.
Its all set in 1926 starting just prior to the national strike of that year going onto the struggle of miners in the UK fighting for a decent wage and working conditions.
During this film I laughed, I cried and once again I saw the powers that be trying to keep the working class where they could control them and profit from their labours.
It might be a film about 1926 but it could so easily translate into the present day!
I highly recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in social history or the plight of the common man.
