If you're prepared to spend just a very small amount of money, there are two classic documentaries on the matter available for rental on Vimeo.

'Wapping: The Workers' Story' won both 'Best Documentary' and 'Best Director' awards at the monthly Hollywood Hills Film Awards just last month. The documentary runs for 70 minutes and costs £2.25 to rent for 24 hours:

Both of those documentaries take up left-wing positions though and (as the strikers did at the time) largely ignore the essential reality that advances in technology will inevitably lead to job losses in some industries.
