As part of an ongoing showcase of contemporary filmmakers who are finding new forms of cinema to show resistance to globalization throughout the world, distributing and screening grassroots videos covering issues ignored or distorted by the corporate media, Indymedia Cinema presents:
‘Life in the Fast Lane – The NO M11 Story’
‘Life in the Fast Lane – The NO M11 Story’
Motorway madness, the criminal justice act, and dodgy police tactics…
This inspiring, moving and at times hilarious feature-length documentary presents the inside story of the ‘NO M11’ Campaign and the battle for Wanstead's George Green, with the Wanstonia eviction and the celebrated roof top protests.
Against the backdrop of growing resistance to the Criminal Justice Act, the film charts the emergence of Claremont Road as an extraordinary symbol of cultural defiance and relives what became one of the most controversial road-building schemes and the most expensive eviction in British history.
Featuring the music of: Zion Train, The Clash, and The Levellers.
Tuesday 13TH APRIL 2004 7pm - 11pm (film from about 8pm)
in THE UPSTAIRS BAR, Brixton RITZY, Coldharbour Lane SW2 (3 mins from Brixton tube)
