Description |
Shots of the Vickers Shipyard in Barrow, with an accompanying voice over expressing the concerns of several defence workers over the Trident program. The remainder of the video is comprised of interviews with various trades unionists expressing their disappointment at the decline of the traditional defence industry in favour of Trident, and setting out their proposals for the conversion of arms work into more constructive and peaceful alternatives. These are interspersed with a number of still and moving images, predominantly of the Vickers Shipyard and surrounding area, both contemporary and historic in nature. |
