Years ago, a British TV show called The Comic Strip Presents... made two films called The Strike[0] and GLC: The Carnage Continues[1]. Both comedies about what would happen if Hollywood were to make films about '80s British political events like the miners' strike or the abolition of the Greater London Council. While they're both broad comedies I think watching them at an impressionable age was probably quite a good education.
