Description:
This documentary chronicles the 1977 labor dispute at Grunwick, a British photo processing plant largely employing Indian immigrants. From the initial strike on July 11th until its resolution, the film documents the workers’ persistent fight for equal rights and fair treatment. It includes key events like the Special Patrol Group's attack on November 7th. The documentary also examines how strike leaders were unfairly punished by their union for hunger strikes protesting the Trade Union Congress's lack of support. Furthermore, it details the pressure placed on post office workers to end a boycott of Grunwick mail. Finally, the film explores a parallel struggle by immigrant workers at Garner's Steak Houses in London, illustrating a wider pattern of inequality.
