This documentary depicts the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse march which converged on the Bank of England and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in the Square Mile, the heart of London's financial district, on April 1st - dubbed 'Financial Fool's Day'.

Thousands of protestors and interested onlookers became trapped by police outside the Bank of England for more than six hours without food and water, whilst across town at Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street, the Queen and Gordon Brown played host to the leaders of the world's 20 most powerful economies (including Barack Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, Dmitry Medvedev, Angela Merkel, etc.).

Tensions rose and violence flared. Who was to blame? Watch this blend of interviews, first-hand footage of the events of April 1st 2009 and clips of media reportage from networks including BBC News, Fox News, ITN, Al Jazeera and Sky News and decide for yourself.

  • You are a prick, because you argue with emotion and opinion - not facts, to this end you are intellectually dishonest.

    I doubt you could escape the logic fallacies of your arguments even if they were spelled out to you.

    If you have any facts you would like to debate then tell us what they are, rather than state bald assertions.

  • the protest will be stronger and stronger and stronger :)

    The Police does Serve the Citizens!

    The People have the Rights to overtrown their Goverment, to protest. . . .

    The People even has the Rights to overtrown ALL the Banks, it is OUR System, Our World, Our jobs and the thing we all do in life for ourselves, our friends, our family and our country, and, Our Planet Earth.

    So, Unite or die. . .or worse, be Slaves and Sheeps for years!

  • @MRSstraightA What the fuck are you talking about? You sound like a magic 8 ball on crack.

  • I guess the age of the hippies is over.

  • I hope black block gets bigger!

  • @moleman9000 their jobs are to oppress the people, they themselves are people, theyre are following unjust and in many cases illegal orders.

    try being penned in with thousands of people unable to move and any attempts to escape being violently resisted, how cool would you keep?

  • This is the day I lost respect for the Police, protest is illegal now! (they seem to be saying)

  • 0:55 Look at the left side... What the fuck is he doing?

  • I get very annoyed with these people calling the police idiots, twats etc when they get kettled in like this. Clearly the police are just doing their job. Their orders from higher up are to kettle the protestors so that what they do. Yeah a few acted badly and this is what always gets shown as the general image. No they don't want the protestors to start throwing bricks, thats what they are their to stop. Looks like most of these protestors are being confrontational themselves.

  • The "protesters" being violent today have been shown up for the scum they are by the Police and media. They got their almost bare assed leggings butts and covered faces handed to them. SHAME ON YOU. I say this as a student. Shame on you scum. Hope you get name, shamed and most importantly arrested and banged up.They deserve it and more. asdasdasdsadasd
