“The Nightcleaners” is set in the context of the campaign (1970-1972) to unionize the women who cleaned office blocks at night and were being victimized and underpaid. Intending at the outset to make a campaign film, the Collective was forced to turn to new forms in order to represent the forces at work between the cleaners, the Cleaner's Action Group and the Unions - and the complex nature of the campaign itself.
The Nightcleaners was directed by Marc Karlin, James Scott, Mary Kelly and Humphry Trevelyan.
The Nightcleaners runs for 1h 30min, and was released in 1975.
