Plot
In the heart of the Australian night on April 7th, 1998, an event occurred that would forever rend the country's fabric. A clandestine operation, orchestrated by the audacious head of Patrick Stevedores, Chris Corrigan, and backed by the ruling Liberal Government, saw balaclava-clad security personnel, armed with batons and leading dogs, stealthily invade the nation's docks. In an unprecedented act of defiance, they forcibly ousted the entire unionised workforce, sending shockwaves through the maritime sector.
"Bastard Boys" is a riveting true tale of this high-stakes war on the Australian waterfront, a battle of wills and ideologies that polarised the nation. The series masterfully weaves together narratives from both sides of the conflict, charting the audacious gambit of Corrigan and the government, and the steadfast resilience of the Maritime Union of Australia.
In the face of adversity, the Union embarked on an unyielding quest, championed by wharfies, lawyers, and fellow unionists, to reclaim the jobs of some 2000 unjustly sacked workers. This is a gripping journey of courage, determination, and the power of solidarity against overwhelming odds, a story that resonates with the indomitable spirit of the working class. "Bastard Boys" is a stirring tribute to their fight, an unforgettable saga that lays bare the intricate dynamics of power, politics, and personal conviction.
