At a Q&A last night we mentioned that the Quaker Meeting House had been raided AGAIN & 15 arrested. There was surprise in the room that this had not been more widely reported. Conclusion in the room: seeking out independent journalism is more critical than ever. Here is Liz Smith's article about it

📍 Pavilion Cinema, Galashiels
🗓 29 March | 2pm

On Sunday 29 March, Trudi Warner will appear in Galashiels for a screening at Pavilion Cinema, followed by a live Q&A.
The film follows climate activists navigating arrest, prosecution and the changing boundaries of protest — and asks what this means for democracy.
Her case led to the formation of @defendourjuries.bsky.social and sparked wider debate about how climate protest is treated in UK courts.
These are central themes in our documentary The Line We Crossed.
The sign read:
“Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to your conscience.”
She was standing quietly outside the trial of climate activists.
In 2023, Trudi Warner was arrested for silently holding this sign outside a court. 🧵
The sign read:
“Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to your conscience.”
She was standing quietly outside the courtroom.
Her arrest led to the formation of Defend Our Juries — now a major voice in the UK’s civil liberties movement.
Since then, the debate around protest, jury rights and democracy has only intensified.
It read:
“Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to your conscience.”
She wasn’t shouting.
She wasn’t blocking anything.
She was standing quietly.
On Friday it was ruled that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful. Here is our short film about that day, the 3rd film in our REQUIEM FOR PROTEST series charting the 'Lift The Ban' campaign by @defendourjuries.bsky.social. This piece is a fugue composed by @kimhalliday.bsky.social
🎥 The first UK cinema screening of THE CONSPIRACISTS will be at Hebden Bridge Picturehouse on 21 Feb. 🎟️ bit.ly/TC-Hebden. It will be followed by a Q&A with the director, moderated by Scott Archer Patient. Get ready, strap yourselves in, this film is quite a ride!
The Epstein files have added a whole other mind-bending layer to our film The Conspiracists. Read Liz Smith's latest Substack examing the film through this new lens: open.substack.com/pub/lizsmith... Screenings info: linktr.ee/theconspiracists

This is how conspiracies become “confirmed” inside conspiratorial belief systems. Not because new evidence appears, but because an existing detail is reassigned meaning. In this case, a restaurant called “Cannibal,” mentioned in connection to Epstein’s chef in the recent document release.
Liz has been following the story of the "Lift The Ban" campaigners arrested and charged under terrorism laws in the UK. Here is her latest article after witnessing some of the plea hearings. @defendourjuries.bsky.social

THE LINE WE CROSSED is now available to stream.
Told through the eyes of climate campaigners, the film explores the repression of the right to protest in the UK.
Every purchase directly supports our independent human rights filmmaking. Thank you for watching and supporting. 💙
We've made a second episode of Requiem For Protest. This time we documented what happened outside the RCJ on the first day of the judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action. Once again 100s of people taking part in the @defendourjuries.bsky.social Lift The Ban campaign were arrested.
Yes it’s true, there’s a book and a film of The Conspiracists! We’re looking forward to the U.K. theatrical release of the film in the new year. The book release is Jan 6. You can pre-order it now!
A promotional graphic for The Conspiracists. The top half has a yellow background with the book title in white serif type: “The Conspiracists,” followed by the subtitle “Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging.” A small black-and-white author photo appears beside the name “Noelle Cook.” To the right is the book cover showing a bright blue background and a blonde Statue-of-Liberty–style mask with hollow black eye openings. Below, on a torn-paper white band, the text reads: “Companion pieces in a complicated world.” The bottom half shows a still from the documentary: a woman wearing a baseball cap and braids sits indoors, gesturing with her hand. Film festival laurels run across the top of the still, with the title “The Conspiracists” and the line “A Liz Smith Film” in white and yellow type. At the bottom is the website “www.theconspiracistsfilm.com.”
The book draws from four years of research and lived relationships; the film offers a visual counterpart to that work. Used together, they give readers and viewers a clearer sense of how belonging, belief, and extremism intersect, useful for book clubs, classrooms, and discussion groups.
THE LINE WE CROSSED is screening Thu 20th, 7pm @ Reading Biscuit Factory, followed by a very special Q&A with an all-star cast with Trudi Warner, Sam Griffiths & Anne Richards.The film shows the repression of our protest rights and the emergence of @defendourjuries.bsky.social 🎟️ bit.ly/TLWC-Reading
The Conspiracists screens this month at the SVA Film Festival in NOLA, as part of the American Anthropological Association’s annual conference. Honored to receive Best Feature Honorable Mention among a field of exceptional ethnographic films.

Thank you so much for coming Catherine. We met so many wonderful people at the Redruth screening, it was a pleasure to be there. Hopefully, we will be able to screen our next film there too!
We probably all know someone who has spread this conspiracy theory. It might sound harmless but the spreading of these conspiracies is playing a serious role in today's toxic polarisation and undermining democracy. We've made a film that digs into this issue: www.theconspiracistsfilm.com
THE LINE WE CROSSED is screening at The Regal Cinema in #Redruth on 11 Nov @ 7:30 followed by a Q&A. With the recent mass arrests of peaceful protesters holding cardboard signs this film has become even more timely and urgent. 🎟️ bit.ly/TLWC-Redruth #Cornwall #RightToProtest
