DESCRIPTION:Australian Films:\nFilmwork: Between 1953 and 1958 the Waterside Workers 
 Federation in Australia supported a film unit tha produced ten documentary 
 films for several militant unions. Film-Work, produced in 1981, looks at 
 sequences from four of these films in conversation with the Unit’s 
 members raising issues pertinent to current problems of film and labor 
 history, politics and social change.\nThe Hungry Miles: This labor film, 
 which premiered to 5,000 wharfies in a Melbourne stadium shows the real 
 lives and struggles of the Australian dockers. The WWF had made it a high 
 priority to break through the anti-worker propaganda by the shipping bosses 
 and this film played a key part in showing the working conditions, hopes 
 and aspirations of dockers. It also challenged the corporate controlled 
 effort to make film simply "entertainment" industry.\n
