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 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.
SOLIDARITY was made by visual arts organisation City Projects and filmmaker Lucy Parker, working alongside members of the Blacklist Support Group. The project generated several short films, exhibitions and events.
