The background of the movie "Billy Elliott" was set in the context of "minor strikes" in England in 1984. Billy's father and brothers were miners involved in the strike. In British history, this was an important event of Conservative Party led by Margaret Thatcher who was the ruling UK party at the time. This event established a strong political and ideological position in the minds of Englishians accepted today (British). For miners who occupied the majority of the working class in the UK at that time, the strike of miners in 1984 was a violent period. The reason behind the strike is that the government is about to close 20 coal mines which will result in massive unemployment for up to 20,000 people. This opposed the miners to such a decision, causing a fuss. Billy's family participated in the strike, and his brother Tony was the union leader.
