AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Face to Face is adapted from David Williamson's play which is in turn based on the transcripts from real conflict resolution sessions.
'The story is about a young scaffold construction worker who is charged with assaulting his boss. By the end of the film, all our assumptions about guilt and blame are turned on their heads. As 10 people sit in a room discussing the turn of events that brought our protagonist to breaking point, twists and surprises reveal that all is not quite as simple as it seems.'
