“An impressionistic documentary. Black and white, alcoholics, blind people, wheelchairs...the down and out in Sydney. I was greatly influenced by documentary films I saw at the Workers’ Education Association Film Group.

It was completely new to me, and I wasn’t really comfortable with it.” (Paul Winkler)
