Film on print workers’ strike of ‘80s

MUMBAI: Veteran British actors Bob Hoskins and Jenny Agutter will feature in the comedy-drama Weighed In: The Story of the Mumper that is set during the Fleet Street print workers‘ strikes of the 1980s.

The film, directed by Sacha Bennett, concerns seven friends caught up in the industrial strife that weakened Britain‘s labour movement.

While Hoskins stars in awards-season contender Made in Dagenham, Agutter is noted for films like Walkabout and An American Werewolf in London.
