Summary

A compilation of footage covering the fight to save Sydney Harbour’s Millers Point public housing from redevelopment, which would see long term residents forced to relocate. BLF Green Ban legend Jack Mundey talks about the failure of public housing and the need to preserve what is left at Millers Point. Local residents are featured and explain their wish to stay put, while Tony Hadfield, a former BLF organiser during the Green Bans encourages a group of residents to take on the Housing Commission.  Some archival footage of The Rocks Green Bans is presented, as well as selections from news and current affairs.
