Life of a Shock Force Worker (Serbo-Croatian: Slike iz života udarnika) is a 1972 Yugoslav feature film directed by Bahrudin Bata Čengić and based on a script by Branko Vučićević.

[2] The film was inspired by the lives of coal miners who, due to their efforts in the first years of socialist Yugoslavia, were glorified and portrayed as national heroes.

The film consists of a series of connected vignettes in the life of Adem, a Bosniak miner and his fellow udarniks, starting from his wedding.

When he and his comrades travel to Slovenia to receive an award, he begins a relationship with a Slovenian woman, also a shock force worker, and the two get married upon their return.

Now an official member of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, Adem spends even less time at home, angering his second wife.
