Music Video

The day of a British mine worker who fights against the police force to defend his rights. The video intercuts with scenes from the morning before the confrontation where the man is eating breakfast with his family; it's done so you understand what he's fighting for. The video ends with a young boy looking proudly at his miner father across the breakfast table, before fading to black and a dedication to those who took part in the UK miners' strike (1984–1985)
