A story of dissent: the experiences of people on the frontlines of climate resistance and the serious erosion of our UK civil rights.About this Event
As we fail to address the climate crisis, activists cross the line into civil disobedience, with chilling consequences for their lives. Drawn from the frontlines of climate resistance, the film traces the quiet unravelling of our rights for peaceful protest. It challenges the audience to ask: “What makes dissent effective and where is the line of acceptability?”

"A hauntingly urgent documentary that charts the quiet collapse of dissent in modern Britain. From the bold front lines of climate resistance - featuring activists from Just Stop Oil and Insulate Britain, as well as the emergence of Defend Our Juries - the film threads together a powerful tapestry of defiance, fear and state control. As the government pushes through sweeping anti-protest laws, these ordinary citizens find their words criminalised and their bodies constrained by arrests, harsh sentences, and mounting intimidation." ICA review
"There’s a certain hopefulness seeing the protesters fighting for what they believe, in the face of so much pressure. They are very interesting subjects for the film, coming from a variety of backgrounds. They share a brilliant stubbornness and sense of a need for ecological justice... The statistics and news about climate change in the film are alarming. Documentaries like this are essential to inform and inspire." Letterboxd review
