Not in Our Name

Not in Our Name - A feature documentary by East London filmmakers Hazuan Hashim and Phil Maxwell. The film explores the response of artists to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Featuring veteran anti war campaigner Tony Benn and peace campaigners from around the world, the film opens up a rich visual landscape to explore the folly of war.

Six years in the making Hashim and Maxwell wanted to take the anti war message to a wider audience through an examination of the work of a diverse range of artists against the war. Featured artists include Bob and Roberta Smith - one of the contenders for the Fouth Plinth project in Trafalgar Square, composers Chris Barnett and Deirdre Gribbin, political cartoonist/satirist Leon Kuhn, dancers Mavin Khoo and Seeta Patel and writer/archivist Rachel Litchtenstein.

The film includes footage from around the world, including Iraq and the USA.
