G20: Climate Camp in the City of London

ARVE Error: The [[arve]] shortcode needs one of this attributes av1mp4, mp4, m4v, webm, ogv, url

This was a film I made with Emily James about the Climate Camp protest on Bishopsgate, which was part of the G20 demonstrations in the City of London on 1 April, 2009.

This is the definitive story of what exactly happened from beginning to end, including exclusive footage I shot of clear cases of police brutality and of the police violently clearing the camp in the early hours of the following morning when they thought fewer people would see! They didn’t count on me climbing on to a roof with my camera!

The film has been viewed over 64,000 times on YouTube and was featured on the websites of many British national newspapers, including The Times, The Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian. Footage from the film has since then featured in flagship current affairs programmes Panorama (BBC One) and Dispatches (Channel 4), as well as Channel 4 News, BBC News, MTV and Have I Got News For You.
