| Summary Note |
"Radical Wollongong is an action-packed account of the progressive political history of the city. The film features colourful interviews with activist participants who battled 'Pig Iron Bob', participated in the 1949 coal strike, defended the Communist Party against banning, were jailed for draft resistance during the Vietnam war, organised the unemployed, forced Australia's biggest company to employ women, occupied Federal Parliament and much more, all accompanied by fascinating archival footage and photos. The film also covers today's struggles in the Illawarra, from Sandon Point to the community battle to stop coal seam gas, and is a call for the spirit of people power to continue and grow."--Publisher website. |
