Screening of "The General Strike – A Revolution Betrayed?"

This newly discovered documentary film provides an extraordinary first-hand account of the General Strike of 1926 and it shows how close many of the strikers thought it brought them to a revolution.

This historic documentary, The General Strike – A Revolution Betrayed?, made in the early 1970s, was unearthed in the archive of radical filmmaker Platform Films.

Norman Thomas of Platform Films says that the power of the 70 minute film lies in its extensive use of first hand testimony of strikers and strikers’ relatives.

It’s been a hundred years since workers across the country came out in support of over a million miners locked out of work for refusing to accept lower pay. 

There will be an NTUC meeting At 7pm in the room which observers are welcome to attend. 

Please try and arrive by 7.35pm. The screening will start at promptly at 7.45pm.
