The 1980s was a turbulent time both socially and politically. How did that play out in the North East and Berwick ? Here's your chance to see some Archive film made by Amber about the North East and also some local footage, followed by a discussion.

Before the film you will see archival TV footage relating to Berwick of this turbulent period of history relating to local industry, and ‘Can’t Beat It Alone’ will be followed by an open discussion which develops upon local connections to this important historic work on community activism.

"The Burr" is run by Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival as part of their year round offering in Berwick.
