One Million Unemployed in Winter 1971 - Mike Dunford, 1971

A film on unemployment which invites the spectator to resist capitalism and the consumption society, made by Mike Dunford, who was unemployed at the time, with the intention of providing a catalyst for discussion at Claimants Union meetings. One long shot of people standing outside the Labour Exchange is interrupted every four seconds with images of prosperity: wealth-consumer goods, Rolls Royces driving down streets. On the soundtrack, an unemployed man speaks about his situation and the difficulties he faces.
