The fifth of Seven camera rolls filmed by Trade Films of the 1984 Durham Rally begins with the 2nd part of the speech made by Arthur Scargill, President of the National Union of Mineworker’s (NUM) and concludes with interview with a group who had travelling in from Cortonwood in South Yorkshire who are attending the rally. On the speaker’s stage at Durham Racecourse, part of the 1984 Durham Miners Rally Arthur Scargill concludes his speech by attacking the Nottinghamshire Miners for continuing to work during the 1984 pit strike, appealing for the working miners to join the 'winning side' in the dispute and stating the right of the leaders to demand loyalty and commitment from the rank and file. Arthur finishes by saluting his fellow comrades by saying how proud he is to be the leader of the finishes trade union in the world. The crowd erupts in applause as he takes his seat. Sitting on the grass an interview men and women from Cortonwood in South Yorkshire about the origins of the strike and the struggles in his community. The women in particular talk in details about the work they do to support the miners and what the area would be like should the colliery close.
