Funded by the Waterside Workers Federation, this film had to be shot secretly as the Australian government did not approve of the Dutch filmakers' agenda. |

The film portrays the refusal of the Australian waterfront workers to load Dutch ships with arms to be used against the Indonesian independence movement. The film portrays the solidarity of Australia's workers with the Indonesians and calls for their independence. |
