Doors open: 17:45

Screening: 18:10

Panel and Q & A : 19:45

Operation Recomply, the name given to the counter-terror policing operation, is an independent documentary which follows the events surrounding the Filton 25 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 25'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 and Q & A. Full details of the panel will be announced soon.
