Part of the 2023 Bristol Radical Film Festival. 

“100 Years of Struggle” is a unique documentary made to mark the centenary of the Bristol Trades Union Council (BTUC) in 1973. Although it was transmitted by BBC Bristol, it was written, researched and presented by trade unionists at a time when some organisations outside the Corporation were allowed to use BBC resources to have their own say, and will be introduced by its director Colin Thomas.  The film features men and women union activists recounting moments from Bristol workers’ history amongst which features the 1892 strike in Redcliffe by women confectionery workers, anti war organising in WW1, the experience of the 1926 general strike and the police riot against unemployed workers in Old market in 1932. There will be a panel discussion of the recent wave of strikes and union organising today.
