Event Concluded

Event Description

Told with compelling honesty and wry humour by the mineworkers themselves, 'Blood on the Coal' is the story of the Queensland coalfields.

A story of social action, tragedy and survival, the film documents harrowing underground disasters, heroic rescues and traces a history of strikes, industrial turmoil and the constant threat to the viability of regional communities.

Our monthly History Through Film series is a great opportunity to view documentary films showcasing the history of our nation. After the film, we can also show you how to access many more documentaries at home using Kanopy, absolutely free!
