‘Independent Miss Craigie’ visits the home of ‘Blue Scar’

73 years after Craigie made her only feature film, Blue Scar, based in Abergywnfi near Port Talbot, Hollie Price and Lizzie Thynne went back to the ex-pit village to screen ‘Independent Miss Craigie’ on 16 September 2021. The film played to a full house in the G2 Club and the event was a collaboration with Simon Matthews of Gywnfi Miners Hall, whose advice and support have been a great encouragement in the film’s production. Michael Sheen was a special guest who kindly spoke after the film. The event was filmed by local film-maker and fireman Ciaran Gibbons and his daughter – more soon.
