Lock Out the Landlords : Brunswick in the Depression

People's History of Brunswick

Wander the streets of radical Brunswick (Victoria, Australia) during the Great Depression. Join historian and archivist Melinda Barrie as she takes you in the footsteps of Noel Couhinhan and the free speech fight. From the theatres and soap-boxes of Brunswick; to activists riding atop street-cars and locking themselves in cages to escape arrest. Brunswick was a place of organising and dissent. Join historian and author Iain McIntyre as he takes you on a tour of unemployed workers organising and anti-eviction resistance during the Depression. From urban communes, to storming the Brunswick Town Hall, and defending working-class families from eviction.
