Amongst Equals

Zubryckis controversial provocative and rarely screened documentary about the Australian tradeunion movement was originally commissioned by the ACTU and funded by the Bicentennial Authority to provide an audiovisual history stretching from the birth of the movement in the mid1850s and the formation of the Australian Labor Party to key events like the 1891 shearers strike and the 1988 Bicentenary This prounion but objective history focusing on the struggle between capital and labour and featuring the candid testimony of many unionists was refused sanction by the ACTU and has long languished in obscurity aside from some illegal screenings in the early 1990s
