INFAMOUS VICTORY
Ben Chifley's
Battle for Coal
This is a story of coal, communism, and the Australian prime minister who went to war against his own during the national miners strike of 1949.
Using rare archival footage and re-creations, this dramatised documentary shows how Labor Party leader Ben Chifley took on and defeated the growing forces of communism in Australia.
The film examines the complex issues that the conflict raised and introduces the major players in the dispute
A former train driver from Bathurst, Chifley was a working-class hero, a Labor Party icon and 'man of the people*. But his actions flew in the face of Labor values and tradition when he believed it was in the interests of post-war Australia.
Chifley introduced draconian laws to prevent unions accessing funds to support the strike and sent in the army to replace
striking miners so defeating the Communist Party leadership that controlled the militant union.
This is a fascinating era of Australian history rarely seen on screen.
Featuring Tony Barry as Ben Chifley, Frankie J Holden as Arthur Calwell (Minister for Immigration) and Rhys Muldoon as Edgar Ross (Communist Party executive) along with a strong ensemble cast.
