CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION

Following my earlier post about the longest strike in history, my good friend Alex has pointed me towards this: a documentary (made in the 70s, I think) about the Burston Strike School. It features interviews with the schoolchildren, including the strike leader Violet Potter. I especially like the toothy chap, who recalls the village's unofficial speaker shouting, "Stick, stick, stick the shit to the blanket!"
