A look at the communities in Fox's biscuit factory in Batley, both the past and the present.

Work means different things: it may be a product, a tradition, a wage packet, or a way of life, but one thing of universal interest is the effect of work on people and communities. Seeing how people work, and the impact of work on people's lives, is vital to understanding society. The film features interviews with Khateeb Ahmed, the Process Trainer at Fox's Biscuits, and Ismael Daji, a process worker and member of the Gujarati Writer's Circle. Their stories focus on one aspect of the city that is central to the story of work, and another that, whilst not directly related to work, does tell an important story about the role played by the ethnic community in Batley. One thing is certain, there is an enthusiasm and pride felt by the workforce which allows the viewer to understand why for many people in the Batley area the factory is more than just a place of work.
