The Burston School Strike

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

This film was first shown in the Yesterday's Witness series in 1974. James Cameron is the narrator. 'In this tranquil corner of Norfolk in the spring of 1914, the local schoolchildren took drastic action and a spontaneous act of love; they came out on strike because their teachers had been sacked.
A village schoolroom strike in 1914? How could it have come about? Yet it was a strike that was to go on for more than 20 years ...'
Producer STEPHEN PEET
(Screen Two: The Burston Rebellion tomorrow at 10.10 pm)
