NEXT MONDAY 29TH OCT
8pm

SOCPA - The Movie + Q&A with the Director Rikki Blue

An important new film about the (Serious Organised Crime and Police Act)
legislation which was passed in order to get rid of Brian Haw, the lone
protester 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.

UK | 2007 | 60 mins | dir. Rikki Blue
