Barry Hines… the greatest author to express in such complexity and detail the culture and life in the North, Hines will always be so influential to me and this film and its book will always have a special place in my heart… this film is my identity, other cultures may have much vast and much more complex forms of film or media that sticks with them on a personal level, but for me it’s this… this film is the North, and I’m proud to have it in the catalogue of Northern Culture!
