Amber played a significant role in the Workshop Movement, which was supported by agreements between the Association of Cinematograph, Television and Allied Technicians (ACTT), Channel 4, the British Film Institute (BFI), and Regional Arts Associations. This collaboration facilitated the production of The Miners' Campaign Tapes, a series of six films co-ordinated and produced within the Workshop Movement, with Amber contributing to the series.

Why Support the Miners reflects Amber's commitment to social realism and advocacy, providing a platform for the voices of striking miners and their communities during a pivotal moment in British industrial history. The film serves as a testament to the power of collaborative filmmaking in amplifying grassroots movements and fostering dialogue around pressing social issues.
