Dockers: Writing the Wrongs

The documentary presents the journey of a group of dockers who took their real-life experiences and transformed them into a film script. It covers the events surrounding the sacking of five men in September 1995, who walked off the job in response to a change in their working conditions.

Through interviews and personal narratives, Dockers: Writing the Wrongs illustrates the dockers' year-long effort to create a script that reflects their two and a half year struggle. The film serves as a unique exploration of labor rights and personal resilience, making it a significant work within the documentary genre.

With contributions from key figures like Christopher Eccleston and Irvine Welsh, this film showcases the collaboration between the dockers and the creative professionals who helped bring their story to the screen. It is a noteworthy look at how personal experiences can be transformed into compelling storytelling, through the lens of real-world events.
