SUMMARY:'Rats In The Ranks'
LOCATION:Wagstaffe Community Hall
DESCRIPTION:RATS IN THE RANKS  is a gripping\, real-life drama - with a w
 hite-knuckle climax - detailing the last weeks of the Leichhardt Council m
 ayoral elections in 1994.  \nArms are twisted\, favours called in\, and th
 ere are deals\, double-crosses and damaging leaks. \nBut right up to the v
 ote\, no one knows if the numbers will stick. \n\nOver an eleven month per
 iod\, Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson – two of Australia’s most distin
 guished filmmakers – gained extraordinary access to the innermost meetin
 gs of council participants - including the then current serving Mayor\,  L
 arry Hand\, and his Labor Party opponents -  which privilege provides us w
 ith a fascinating portrait of how politics really works. \n\nFor example\,
  the then Assistant General-Secretary of the NSW Labor Party\, Anthony Alb
 anese\, proposed that the Labor caucus at  Leichhardt Council should solve
  their factional dispute over their Mayoral Candidate by "pulling a name o
 ut of a hat".\n\n"Ambition\, courage\, envy\, betrayal\, disaster\, triump
 h ... in other words\, a classic study of politics"\n\nAnd\, it is said th
 at it was larger-than-life Hand's exposure to a wider audience\, through t
 his documentary\, that spawned the character Col Dunkley in the subsequent
 \, successful Australian TV series Grass Roots.\n\nRATS IN THE RANKS has b
 een screened at more than forty film festivals world-wide\, and has won mu
 ltiple awards including:\n* the Silver Plaque for Social/Political Documen
 tary at the Chicago International Film Festival (1996)\n* the Critics Choi
 ce Award for Documentary at the Sydney Film Festival (1996)\n* a Logie Awa
 rd for most outstanding documentary series/program\, following its televis
 ion screening  (1998)\n\nBoletos: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landin
