Do Nothing and Do It Well
Viewers interested in modern Documentary cinema often explore Do Nothing and Do It Well because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
Do Nothing and Do It Well is a documentary that reveals the neglected true story of the militant Chinese workers who rocked the streets of Melbourne at the turn of the 20th Century. Behind a raging soundtrack of furious Cantonese punk and hip-hop, the film weaves together newspaper clippings, the film-maker's family history and a fictionalised dead narrator, to present a sprawling new portrait of Melbourne. Addressing ongoing questions of race, class and the Australian labour movement, Do Nothing and Do It Well plants a flag of defiance and struggle in the streets.
