Indymedia cinema in Brixton

imc london | 13.04.2004 12:19 | Ecology | Social Struggles | London

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’

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-ish)
in THE UPSTAIRS BAR, Brixton RITZY, Coldharbour Lane SW2 (3 mins from Brixton tube)

It is relevant to today

The post should maybe have mentioned that this is being shown as part of the 10'th anniversary of the M11 protests this year. The protest is still highly relevant because the M11 protests linked many previously separate groups as a result of the Crim Justice Act that affected them all and led directly on to all the RTS carnival and street party style protests that are still going on today.

Anyway I was just going to add, that as well as the film, there will also be a slide show of about 200 still photos of the M11 protests which haven't really been seen publicly before.

I'd like to see it, and really like to see the picture slideshow, but can't make it to the ritzy.

Please put it on again somewhere else, somewhere soon.
