Brassed Off
Fed up with the system. Ticked off at the establishment. And mad about... each other.
Directed by Mark Herman
Produced by Miramax, Prominent Features
A warmhearted ensemble comedy-drama about working-class solidarity and redemption through music, grounded in the economic despair of 1980s Yorkshire.
A Yorkshire coal mine is threatened with closure and the only hope is for the men to enter their Grimley Colliery Brass Band into a national competition. They believe they have no hope until Gloria appears carrying her Flugelhorn. At first mocked for being a woman, she soon becomes the only chance for the band to win.
