Solidarity
Directed by Lucy Parker • 2019 • United Kingdom • 75’
Solidarity is about activists who are spied upon, systematically denied work and tricked into intimate relationships with undercover police – a community coming together to find a route to justice.
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.
