Melting Point

Exposing government tactics in reaction to environmental protests: Espionage, news manipulation, legal threats and even violence have become the knee-jerk response of Government and big business to the increasing and vocal concerns of environmental protesters in the UK. Ahead of next month's Climate Camp at Kingsnorth power station, this exclusive and powerful film exposes the extraordinary tactics being used to reframe concerned citizens engaging in their right to protest, as dangerous terrorists.

The Song in the beginning is Teardrop by Massive Attack. It was popularized by the show on USA network called House.

It's sad, but a lot of that happens a lot. During riots, police send in spies dressed in plain clothes. So, you always have to keep a weary eye out.

Absolutely spot on video, guys. Especially on the links between the power companies, the government, the PR gurus and the police. Keep on exposing the truth behind the lies...

Interesting video, good idea, and all that, but one thing - repeated use of pictures of people abusing long lenses on SLR cameras, and linking this directly to police "infiltration".

The fact is that photographers (like myself), like myself, have enough to deal with, and some of it comes from the law as well.

Stop demonising photographers!
