father and mother
Is this
Gwilym Morgan's house?
You must be Huw
Is that you, Bronwyn?
Yes
There is lovely you are
I think I fell in love
with Bronwyn then
Perhaps it is foolish to think
a child could fall in love,
but I am
the child that was,
and nobody knows how I felt,
except only me
I am so proud
for Ivor
I'm the one
to be proud
You think well
of our Ivor?
Ha ha ha!
It seems
only a few months
since he was scratching
around here
like this one
with his mouth open
This is Bronwyn,
Huw,
who's to be
your sister
We have
met already
Be careful
of the basket
There's shortcake
in it
This is
not for you, Huw
You will have your time to come
Run along
[Singing in Welsh]
Oh!
Bronwyn and Ivor
were to be married
by the new preacher,
Mr. Gruffydd,
who had come
from the university at Cardiff
This was
my first sight of him
[Singing in Welsh]
[Bell Ringing]
- Yay!
- Yay!
[Laughter]
[Laughter Stops]
Oh!
(music) Now, here's a man
won't get drunk (music)
(music) Can't get drunk,
shan't get drunk (music)
(music) Here's a man
won't get drunk (music)
(music) Peter O'Pea (music)
(music) From my heel to my toe,
from my toe to my knee (music)
(music) I'll walk the line,
jog the line... (music)
(music) Oh, P... (music)(music)
Ohh
Good evening,
Mr. Morgan
Yes, indeed, sir
Oh, excuse me
Thank you
Ahh
[Singing in Welsh]
Come now, boys
Back to work
Ivor, find Dai Griffiths
and Idris john
and bring them to
Mr. Evans' office
will we
come with you?
No This is
for the older men
Home to your mother
But...
Leave it now, Davy
Well, come! Come!
Why aren't you
washed?
We were waiting
for you
The cut is only
a few shillings
There will still be plenty
for all of us
A bit of supper now,
is it, girl?
It is because they are not getting
the old price for coal
Come and wash now
May-May we
speak first, sir?
Yes
They did not give the
real reason for this cut
We've been
expecting it
since the ironworks
at Dowlais closed
What have the ironworks
to do with us?
Their men came
to the colliery
willing to work
for any wage,
so our wages
must come down
And this is only
the beginning
Watch now,
they'll cut us again
and still again,
until they
have this...
as empty
as their promises
Nonsense A good worker
is worth good wages,
and he
will get them
Not while there are
three men for every job
Why should owners pay more
if men are willing to work for less?
Because the owners
are not savages
They are men,
like us
Men, yes,
but not like us
Would they deal with you
when you went to them?
No
They have power,
and we have none
How will we get power...
from the air?
No From a union
of all the men
Union, is it?
I never thought
I'd hear my own sons
talking
socialist nonsense
But it's sense,
good sense!
Unless we stand
together...
I've had enough
of this talk!
But, Father, it d...
Come and wash now
Your good mother
will be waiting
Do you think
I'll let them
make my father stand
like a dog in the rain
and not raise my hands to stop it?
Hisht, Davy
Who gave you
permission to speak?
This is too important
for silence
They're trying
to punish you...
It is not more important
than good manners
What are
we going to do?
You'll die of the cold
when it comes to snow
Let us stand together
and see
how they act then
Right The men will come if we say
the word All the pits are ready
You will not make me a plank
for your politics
I will not be the excuse
for any strike
If they can do things like that
to the spokesman,
what will they
try and do to the men?
We will see Be silent now
Finish your supper
But, father...
Enough now!
- But...
- On with your work
It is not enough!
Owen!
Hold your tongue until
you have permission to speak!
I will speak against injustice
anywhere,
with permission
or without it
Not in this house
In this house
and outside, sir
Leave the table
I will leave
the house
Gwil! Tell
