| Summary: | This record of the celebrations in Blackball, N.Z., over Easter 2008 was made to help preserve in memory one of New Zealand's defining political events. The coalminers' strike of 1908 was a catalyst for the creation of the national union movement. Ordinary people began to organise a political voice, which eventually led to the first Labour government in the 1930s. These parliamentary representatives of the working class instituted the basis of social democracy in this country. |
