KEMIRA - DIARY OF A STRIKE
The film deals with one of the most determined attempts by workers to challenge the right of companies to make mass dismissals of workers on solely economic pretexts. In September 1982, at the height of the economic recession, Australian Iron and Steel, a subsidiary of Australia's largest company BHP, announced its intention to retrench 400 miners from six coal pits which supplied the company's Wollongong steelworks.
WATERLOO
Waterloo - a 50 minute documentary completed in 1981, is an historical account of the 1970’s battle by residents of this inner Sydney suburb to save the area from slum clearance and redevelopment by public housing authorities. In the early 70’s the state government initiated a massive scheme to pull down inner city terraces (‘slums’) to build new high rise public housing estates.
