1951 lockout documentary (part 1)

In 1951, New Zealand tem­porar­i­ly became a police state. Civ­il lib­er­ties were cur­tailed, free­dom of speech denied, and the Gov­ern­ment used force against its own cit­i­zens. This film tells the sto­ry of the infa­mous lock­out of water­side work­ers and the nation­wide strike which fol­lowed.
