The Films
A Times Comes / Nick Broomfield (2009) / 20 mins
The film documents the story of 6 Greenpeace volunteers who were tried but then a acquitted of showing down a power station in the UK. Their actions were in protest over the Government’s plans to build a series of new, coal-fired power plants despite the on-going climate change battle facing humanity.
McLibel / Fanny Armstrong & Ken Loach (2005) / 85 mins
This ‘David and Goliath’ tale documents how gardener, Helen Steel and postman Dave Morris, took on one of the most recognisable names and biggest mights in commercialism – McDonalds – in a court case over free speech… and won.
