Film Work raises a number of interesting issues concerning film,history and politics. |
| Synopsis |
During the height of the Cold War the Waterside Workers' Federation Film Unit produced eleven films for several trade unions on political and industrial issues. Independent filmakers worked with them to develop a critical dialogue from one generation of concerned filmakers onto another. The film looks at sequences from four of the films (PENSIONS FOR VETERANS, THE HUNGRY MILES, NOVEMBER VICTORY and HEWERS OF COAL) and contains interviews with Keith Gow, Norma Disher and Jock Levy. |
