SYNOPSIS
The time of the mines is kept in the flooded galleries, among the remains of the mining villages, in the red waters that cross the dunes, in the choices of a master, in the voice of a carbide lamp, in an old magnetic tape. Dark, pay, danger, water, wagon, laundry, explosive, fear, puncher, bedaux, occupation, stopwatch, shift, tunnel, mineral, well. These are some words that inhabit this past, following them we met the sense of Us, dignity in work and the uncontrollable desire to be able to leave something good for children. At least the story of who we were.
PRIX EUROPE 2018 as Best European Radio Documentary.
