Conversations With a Working Man

DirectorMichael Beckham

1971
27 min
Documentary

This film expresses John Pilger’s belief that working people are seldom allowed a place in an essentially bourgeois media on their own political terms. In 1971, John Pilger travelled to the West Yorkshire industrial town of Keighley. This documentary features 36-year-old Jack Walker, a dye house worker, and is intended to present the views of a rank-and-file trade unionist: his life, struggle and hopes.
