The film interweaves the inspiring stories of heroes and heroines who made the struggles of others their own, with archive material to reveal the context. With personal testimony from those who took solidarity action and astute historical and political analysis from leading scholars, the result is an epic feature-length documentary. Arranged in ten chapters, the film covers key moments from the past 160 years, from the Millworkers who starved in opposition to slavery to young Russians who side with Ukraine today. Crowd-funded and crowd-filmed, the film does credit to the collective nature of solidarity and creative power of working together.
The film will premiere in April 24. The Press Kit has full details and the charity is keen to arrange screenings nationwide. This film was assisted by a small grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
