Film show & discussion

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 of large scale police operations and has tested the right to protest in the UK.

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.

Film show, and discussion about the campaign, what we can do to support them, and maybe what we can do to take on the local arms industry here.

Starts 7.30pm, at Kebele social centre, 14 Robertson Rd, Bristol BS5 6JY
