Fred Dibnah - Steeplejack (1979)

Short documentary about Fred Dibnah (a steeplejack) of England.

This BBC documentary is a real hidden gem from before Fred became the media personality we all know today. It gives a raw and interesting look at the industrial decay happening in Thatcher’s Britain.

As Fred takes down old factory chimneys, furnace works, and other buildings that used to be at the heart of Britain’s prosperity, his thoughts and views are woven into the footage, making it a standout piece of film making.
