Platform films are one of the longest-running producers of radical feature documentary in Britain. Run by London-based filmmaker Chris Reeves, they have tackled a wide range of issues over the past thirty years, from mental health and homelessness to international politics, trade unionism and war.
Passionate, angry and committed, Platform’s films know where they stand are not afraid to argue their case. Pulling Together is their latest film, made for the centenary of the National Union of Railwaymen in 1913, and constitutes a history of what has become one Britain’s fastest-growing and most radical unions: the RMT. With introductory talk by the Reeves and Platform Films’ experiences of making films for unions and the left for the last thirty years.
