From Director Jordan Carroll
”We follow a protagonist (a prolific painter / artist based in the Peak District, and friend of Jim). through the countryside as he reflects on memories past.

The idea behind this music video was to portray the history and culture behind Sheffield and the surrounding region. Showcasing the industrial heritage, how people worked and lived, and conflict that arose through the years for working-class people like the ‘Battle of Orgeave’ and the Miner’s strike.

The film also looks at the Peak District National Park and how this wide-open, green space was a haven for the workers away from the smokey city. But even this space had to be fought for with access originally being restricted to small footpaths in limited areas in order for rich landowners to shoot grouse. This ultimately lead to the ‘Mass Trespass of 1932’ where a group of brave volunteers intentionally broke the law in order to bring awareness to their cause. Their actions, and many more, paved the way for the ‘Right to Roam’ being enshrined in law throughout the UK, which gave access to mountain and moorland for all.

As this history is showcased through old stock footage, we follow our protagonist Keith How as he reflects on his life, enjoying his right to roam in the countryside. He journeys to the high point of a hill where he uses his art to capture the landscape.”
