Taking Liberties Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

A film to make you thiink, perhaps angry.

This documentary film shows the wide ranging nature of the legislation passed in Britain over the last 10 years to restrict personal freedom, particularly the freedom to protest.

I feared it would be massively 'preachy' and so biased that any truth to its message was lost. However, overall I thought it carried things off really well. Perhaps because the application of the laws passed has been so extreme at times that they didn't have to look to hard for examples which made one's jaw drop open whilst thinking 'Is that really now illegal?' For instance, two harmless young people simply standing in the centre of London reading out the names of all of those killed in Iraq.

I do hope this gets a terrestrial tv airing as soon as possible.

ELEVEN OUT OF TEN

Excellent film, saw it on the big screen in March – picked up more information this time round.

If you care about your freedom (or lack of it !), you should watch this offering, good to see Mark Thomas is alive & well & still politically active.
