Come and Join the Wellington People’s Centre in marking the 20th anniversary of the election of the 1984 Labour Government with this controversial film.

In a Land of Plenty is the story of unemployment in New Zealand. Journey from the 1930’s, a time when full employment was the first objective of economic policy, through the 1980’s to today where mass unemployment has become a deliberately planned strategy of market reforms.

Director Alister Barry will be speaking briefly about the film and taking questions after the screening.
