Released in 1991, Amongst Equals is a notable film directed by Tom Zubrycki, running about 93 minutes.
What it’s about. Zubrycki’s controversial, provocative and rarely screened documentary about the Australian trade-union movement was originally commissioned by the ACTU and funded by the Bicentennial Authority to provide an audio-visual history stretching from the birth of the movement in the mid-1850s and the formation of the Australian Labor Party to key events like the 1891 shearers’ strike and the 1988 Bicentenary. This pro-union but objective history, focusing on the struggle between capital and labour, and featuring the candid testimony of many unionists, was refused sanction by the ACTU and has long languished in obscurity aside from some “illegal” screenings in the early 1990s.
How it landed. With an audience score of 8.0/10, Amongst Equals sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
