Through real-time bodycam and phone footage, frontline activists take audiences along on their audacious raids to tear down arms factories around the UK. Since 2020, direct action group Palestine Action have documented their operations to dismantle the companies and infrastructure supplying weapons to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Independent film makers Rainbow Collective have combined this cache of footage with narration by the group's founders to follow the explosive growth of one of the world's most effective and confrontational protest groups, and the backlash activists face as they incur the wrath of the British state and the arms companies operating on their soil.
The Media Decompression Collective (MDC) along with our comrades in Community Solidarity Response Network (CSRN) is proud to premier a screening of this important documentary film in Toledo, Ohio. Co-sponsored by:
- Northwest Ohio Peace Coalition (NWOPC)
- American Muslims for Palestine (AMP-Toledo)
- Univ. of Toledo Students for Justice in Palestine (UT-SJP)

Don't miss the film that was banned in the UK. From the directors:
"We feel that this is an important film, one in which activists and members of the public put forward arguments for why direct action is justified, morally and legally, against the companies supplying genocide. We also feel that proscription of a non-violent protest group is the most concerning example of authoritarian overreach that we have seen in the UK in our lifetimes, not just on the right to protest but on the rights of independent film makers, writers, journalists and artists like ourselves who should be allowed to platform the views and actions of non-violent protesters".
