Event description

A poetic, funny and often moving reflection on our industrial past, precarious present, and the potential of an everyday collective-resistance.

Combining conversations between residents and workers, diverse in age, ethnicity, and economic background to present a collective spirit of everyday solidarity emerging in the residential neighbourhood of Shieldfield, a small neighbourhood on the edge of Newcastle.

100 People celebrates the resiliance and co-ordinated action between ordinary people, often overlooked within our media representations, to reveal a collective model of what could be and how we might get there.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker Andrew Wilson and community representatives about the themes of the film.

12pm-12:30pm – Welcome reception and refreshments

12:30pm-2pm – Screening

2pm-2:45pm – Panel discussion
