As I learnt more, I was struck by the enormity of the impact the closure of the pits had on the towns and villages around them.
After watching Xavier Gen’s phenomenal 2007 movie Frontiére(s) where the characters use tunnels to escape a family of cannibalistic neo-Nazis, I had an idea for a crime caper gone wrong. I substituted the the abandoned pits of South Wales for the claustrophobic farm tunnels of the film, and sent desperate unemployed ex-miner Nolan Higgs back underground for one last shift.
