Amos Jenkins ist der einzige Überlebende eines schrecklichen Minenunglücks, bei dem zehn seiner Kollegen ihr Leben lassen mussten. Entsprechend groß ist das Interesse an seiner Person, als er nach einem mehrmonatigen Krankenhausaufenthalt in seine kleine Heimatstadt zurückkehrt. Besonders die Hinterbliebenen, zu denen auch die zweifache Mutter Kendra gehört, drängen darauf, dass Amos gegen das verantwortliche Bergbauunternehmen aussagt. Damit rückt unter anderem Bill Doyle, einer der Firmenleiter, ins Zentrum der Ermittlungen, doch hat der bald noch ganz andere Sorgen, als plötzlich sein Sohn spurlos verschwindet. Nur Kendras Sohn Owen scheint die Wahrheit darüber zu kennen, behält diese aber für sich, da er die möglichen Konsequenzen fürchtet. Die Schicksale aller Beteiligten verzahnen sich noch mehr, als sich ausgerechnet Bills Frau Diane und Amos immer näherkommen...

For many years, the Swiss photographer Jean-Claude Wicky captured the world of Bolivian miners in photographs. When he discovered how strongly they reacted to his pictures, he decided to make a film. Black-and-white photographs alternate with film sequences, in which the miners talk about the harsh conditions of their everyday lives, while also rendering visible their pride, dignity, culture and dynamic traditions. Every day is night is first and foremost a testimonial of profoundly sincere human encounters based on respect, generosity and gratitude.
Thud and Blunder learn what not to do while in a coal mine.

A documentary film at Panasqueiras' Mine, between 2008/09. A reality captured by an eye-observer which does not interfere, but follows the compost that grows from the earth and is decomposed by man-machine.
Since the days of Apartheid, Main Reef Road has linked Johannesburg, its suburbs, and the outlying villages and gold mines of the region. Now the people of means flee the more remote reaches of the Road for the suburbs. Who remains along this once heavily travelled highway? Who slaves for the mining companies today? Filmmaker Nic Hofmeyr takes to the road to meet them. South Africa's history echoes in their stories, and in the very landscape.
Dancing in Dulias was made by members of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) and Lesbians Against Pit Closures during and immediate after the 1984/85 minders strike. Like the forthcoming movie, Pride, it documents the interactions between lesbians and gay men and the miners and their families in Dulais in South Wales - only this time it's the real thing. As well as some memorable footage that includes the Blaenant Lodge banner leading the 1985 Lesbian and Gay Pride march and LGSM members struggling with bingo at the local community hall, the film documents the wider political impact of this seemingly unlikely alliance.
