imput on the dockers srike

i am currently attending college , nd2 photography and was lucky enough to film on the set of the channel 4 film " doCKers " due to come out in july. keeping the literature simple, i am mainly highlighting on the fact that various young dockers were fired and replaced by scabs. i met with various past dockers and got wrapped up in there passion, and sense of fun, humourous stories and strong sense of will, and identity. it is a shame that us British are not known for these qualities, insteaed of a stiff ( shallow )stiff upper lip.
I hope i have captured some of that emotion in my work.
As the srike is past, i am calling the exhabition FICTION/NON , the work is done in the style of documentary photography, but is it, it's a film set. I would appreciate any feedback from you a fresh , but personal approach. I will also be using lines from John Lennon's song "WORKING CLASS HERO " = IS THER ONE?
