This film was shot between November 1954 and early 1955.
This was the third film of the Waterside Workers Federation Film Unit.
This film's opening prologue states: "Down through the years the Australian workers have struggled to improve their conditions - have battled to defend the gains they have won. From their constant struggles some events stand out - events that have become landmarks in labour history.
Australian government officials from The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) reported that this film was a "scandalously untrue and distorted film version of the 1954 waterfront strike".
