In
2004 a group of Brighton peace campaigners began to bang pot and pans
outside their local arms manufacturers EDO MBM in disgust of their part
in the Iraq war. This has grown into the Smash EDO campaign, which has
cost the company millions, been the subject of large scale police operations
and has tested the right to protest in the UK.
Using
activist, police and CCTV footage plus interviews with those involved
in the campaign, On The Verge tells the story of one of the most
persistent and imaginative campaigns to emerge out of the UK's anti-war
movement and direct action scene.
The film is already
being screened on the Smash EDO Tour which has begun, and dvds
will be available to buy in April - with proceeds going to Smash EDO.
Police
Repression
Police have attempted to stop On The Verge being screened around
the country. The premiere screening at the Duke Of Yorks Cinema in Brighton
in March was pulled at the last minute after police invention, and several
venues due to host the tour and film have been subjected to police threats
- for more see SchNEWS 625, 630.
Read 'A misguided
piece of official hysteria', the Guardian article published March
27th about police repression against On The Verge click

Smash
EDO Tour 2008
