SUMMARY:Solidarity: Blacklisting film premiere\, Sheffield
DESCRIPTION:Film: Solidarity (UK\, 2019\, 76mins) \nFor decades\, a secret blacklist kept thousands of people out of the UK construction industry. Most of the major firms were involved\, vetting thousands of applicants and supplying the blacklist with information on ‘undesirables’. \nWorkers who organised to ensure their legal rights such as getting paid on time or being provided with the proper safety equipment\, were listed and excluded. \nAfter the illegal blacklisting firm was raided in 2009\, the files were found to contain information that can only have come from the police or secutiry services. The Independent Police Complaints Commission admitted that every constabulary’s Special Branch appears to have routinely supplied personal details of citizens. This is not police officers upholding the law – it is police breaking the law to maximise corporate profit. \nMany spycops from the Special Demonstration Squad took a particular interest in trade unions\, becoming members and joining picket lines. \nSOLIDARITY attentively follows meetings between activists and law students\, brought together for the film\, revealing the determination of a community working together to find a route to justice. \nThe film has its world premiere at Sheffield Doc/Fest on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June 2019. \nTickets are available now: Saturday 8th June 11.15am\, Sunday 9th June 11.30am. \n£10 full price; £7.50 claimant\, senior citizen\, student\, U25. \nSOLIDARITY was made by visual arts organisation City Projects and filmmaker Lucy Parker\, who has been working alongside members of the Blacklist Support Group for over four years. The project has generated several short films\, exhibitions and events. \n \nShare this:FacebookTwitterTumblrEmailMoreLinkedInRedditPinterestPocketPrint
