    Surprising good 👍🏻
    The film is actually very good for its tiny budget - surprisingly good to be honest.

    It's obviously no 1917, and I wasn't sure want to make of it at first, but you get into it and I'm glad I stuck with it, because by the end I was totally engrossed. A poignant ending and a fine tribute to the miners of WWI.

    I would recommend it, and would equally watch it again.
