In further explaining the purpose of the documentary, Mr. Richardson added: “We believe it is important to document in a meaningful way, through firsthand reports and film, the work of labor under the banner of the Bermuda Industrial Union. As the strike of 1981 impacted the socio-economic, and political developments in Bermuda like few other events in the history of the Island, we believe it’s imperative to depict the events as captured, so that the era is accurately portrayed as a historical record for the generations of residents, students, and those viewing Bermuda from afar.”
