Rare screening of this 1975 documentary about the landmark campaign to unionise night time office cleaners, led by May Hobbs and Cleaners Action.
Nightcleaners was made by members of the Berwick Street Collective (Marc Karlin, Mary Kelly, James Scott and Humphry Trevelyan), about the campaign to unionize the women who cleaned office blocks at night and who were being victimized and underpaid.
“A landmark work of British political cinema and of collective and feminist film-making” – Annette Kuhn
