I worked as a script consultant on a 16mm film regarding the
popularisation of grievance procedures amongst illiterate, migrant,
Zulu-speaking construction workers in the mid-1980s. A very
extensive reception analysis was done on a) the migrant workers; and
b) the white supervisors and managers; and c) the complaints by the
sponsor, the Building Federation that the film was `revolutionary'
and should not be shown to the workers.
The report is now out of print but I can send a copy to you if you
want it.
