rikki | 04.06.2007 22:04 | SOCPA | Repression | London
for nearly two years, indymedia rikki has been closely following the events and battles around the serious organised crime and police act section 132 which criminalised "unauthorised" demonstrations around parliament. the hour-long film documentary will be premiered at the renoir cinema on sunday june 17th, followed by a panel discussion.
screen one, renoir cinema, brunswick square, london wc1
noon sunday 17th june
"docdays: brian haw and the erasure of democracy"
will feature the premiere of SOCPA - THE MOVIE and other shorts, followed by a panel discussion with the film-maker, brian haw, and others.
An important new film about the legislation which was passed in order to get rid of Brian Haw, the lone protestor who has camped outside Parliament for more than 6 years. His ever-increasing display of powerful and artistic banners challenged the politicians who voted for the invasion of Iraq. Last year police swooped and unlawfully removed most of his display, but he has continued his successful battle to remain outside Westminster.
The film shows the enormous creativity and tenacity of Brian and other campaigners appalled at the idea that we have to ask for permission to protest near Parliament.
Featuring an original music soundtrack and contributions from all the main players who have challenged this law, this film is at times frightening, funny, shocking and deeply moving.
It will be followed by a panel discussion with film-maker Indymedia Rikki, Brian Haw, and others.
