The Miners’ Hymns combines original aerial photography and archival clips with an original score by Jóhann Jóhannsson to tell the story of British coal mining in North East England. With minimal text and no spoken words, it illustrates the dangerous lives of those who worked underground, whilst marking the demise of the mining industry.
