TV Preview: Strike: Inside the Unions

  • Calendar icon Tue 23 May 2023, 7:00pm
  • Map pin icon BAFTA 195 Piccadilly, Princess Anne Theatre

An observational documentary series following the historic wave of strikes that engulfed the UK from late 2022 onwards.

With unique access to some of the key players including Mick Lynch of the RMT, Pat Cullen of the Royal College of Nurses and Sharon Graham of Unite, the films cover disputes from London bus garages to the UK's first official Amazon strike in Coventry. The filmmakers were at the heart of the biggest wave of industrial disputes in decades, documenting the decisions made within the union headquarters and the lives of the workers on picket lines.
