Rhubaba is delighted to present the fourth instalment of our Late Screenings programme, the debut of Lucy Parker's 'Solidarity' followed by a Q&A with the artist.
About
Solidarity is about the secretive methods used against UK activists and trade unionists. In the film, blacklisted construction workers and activists spied on by the police share their ongoing struggles. Blacklisting in the UK construction industry impacted thousands of workers who were labelled “troublemakers” for speaking out and secretively denied employment. Activists uncovered alarming links between workplace blacklisting and undercover policing. Solidarity 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. The film features members of Blacklist Support Group, core participants in Undercover Policing Inquiry, and members of other campaigning groups.Rhubaba's Late Screenings programme presents artists’ films selected by the committee members, each evening explores a different theme.
This event is free and open to everyone, popcorn and refreshments provided. More info: http://www.rhubaba.org/late-screenings-iv-lucy-parker-solidarity/
