Operation Recomply: Film premiere and panel discussion

Public premiere of the film 'Operation Recomply'

This will be the first public screening of the film.

Operation Recomply, the name given to the counter-terror policing operation, is an independent documentary which follows the events surrounding the Filton 24 case: a group of British activists who entered an Elbit Systems facility in Filton, exposing Israeli drones being manufactured on British soil .

The film’s early release comes ahead of a first in British legal history: sentencing hearings scheduled for 12 June 2026 at Woolwich Crown Court, where four defendants are due to be sentenced under terrorism-related frameworks despite not being charged with or convicted of terrorism offences.

Told through the eyes of Filton 24's loved ones, the film documents their fight for justice as the state escalates its crackdown on the pro-Palestine movement. Family members not only lived with the constant fear of not knowing when — or if — their loved ones would return home, but also experienced violent house raids, including the arrest of a defendant’s mother by counter-terrorism police, during which she was held without any contact for a week.

Bail applications were repeatedly refused, while some defendants spent nearly two years imprisoned before trial — four times the usual six-month legal limit. Now, the defendants are facing the threat of a “terrorism enhancer”, allowing the judge to add decades to the usual sentencing guidelines. A court order prevented the jury from being informed of this.

Following the screening, we have a short panel with the filmmaker, family members Sukaina Rajwani (Fatema Zainab's mother), Emma Kamio (Ellie's mother), and defendants, Zoe Rogers, Jordan Devlin and Kamran Ahmed. This will be chaired by Dr Asim Qureshi from Cage International.

Tickets are on a sliding scale with an additional option to make a donation to the film fundraiser. We are now fundraising for a wide distributon.

Info: with Dr Asim Qureshi, Zoe Rogers, Jordan Devlin, Sukaina Rajwani, Emma Kamio and Kamran Ahmed.
