| Description: | Issues surrounding the longest and most bitter strike in Fiji's industrial history unfold through a series of profiles of indigenous Fijian strikers and their life in the small 55 year-old gold-mining town of Vatukoula. Since the 1930s an Australian company's paternalism and indifference to the workers' poor living conditions and work-related health problems have fueled the miners' resentment. The film traces the strike-breaking tactics that have undermined the laborers' struggle to unionize. For more information, contact the producer at fonumelino@is.com.fj. |
