In case you missed this Sunday's review, I cover a censored Australian documentary
This week's review covers THE GREAT STRIKE (1917), an Australian documentary of the important labor action that was screened exactly once and then pulled and censored. Only 15 minutes out of an hour runtime survive

The Great Strike (1917) A Silent Film Review
A strike in New South Wales was caught on film and turned into a feature-length documentary. These fragments are all that remained after the censors got through with it.
