Falmouth People and Planet films and vegan cake night - Wednesday 4 February, 6-8pm
Seminar Room I, Tremough Campus, Penryn, Cornwall, UK, TR10 9EZ

We will be showing 'On the Verge - the film they tried to ban'.

Free cake!

'In 2004 a group of Brighton peace campaigners began to bang pot and pans outside their local arms manufacturers EDO MBM in disgust of their part in the Iraq war. This has grown into the Smash EDO campaign, which has cost the company millions, been the subject to large scale police operations and has tested the right to protest in the UK.

Police have attempted to stop On The Verge being screened around the country. The premiere screening at the Duke Of Yorks Cinema in Brighton in March was pulled at the last minute after police invention, and several venues due to host the tour and film have been subjected to police threats.

Using activist, police and CCTV footage plus interviews with those involved in the campaign, On The Verge tells the story of one of the most persistent and imaginative campaigns to emerge out of the UK's anti-war movement and direct action scene.' -  http://www.schnews.org.uk/schmovies/index-on-the-verge.htm
