Red Flannel Films were set up in 1981 as the cooperative South Wales Film Group. They were reacting against being marginalised as women and as filmmakers. During the miners’ strike many women became politically active and some channeled this activism into setting up Red Flannel Films in 1986. The 1986 film ‘Mam’ was about the history of women in the Welsh coalfields and the education and opportunities open to them in the 1980s.
