Synopsis
Solidarity is about activists who are spied upon, systematically denied work and tricked into intimate relationships with undercover police – a community coming together to find a route to justice. 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 attentively follows meetings between activists and law students, brought together for the film. The debut feature length film by artist filmmaker Lucy Parker it has been made alongside and features members of Blacklist Support Group, core participants in Undercover Policing Inquiry, and members of other campaigning groups.
