Director Nick Broomfield has made a 20 minute film celebrating the spirit of direct action. This Bright Green Pictures film tells the story of the Kingsnorth Six, a group of volunteers who scaled the 220m chimney at a coal fired power station in Kent in 2007 to protest against government plans to build new coal plants across Britain. The film premiers on http://www.guardian.com on May 31st and will premier on YouTube June1st.
The film features the music of Nick Laird-Clowes performed by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd amoung others.
Conformist sheep are jealous of their eccentric brothers & sisters up the poles !
Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of "crackpot" than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.
( Thomas J. Watson)

Ok, it's the first. Where's the video? I'm sorry if I seem cynical. I have merely watched for years as time and time again heinous crimes are committed against humanity, and very little getting done to stop/ prevent it. Pollution is horrible, true enough.. But then again so is the genocide being committed daily throughout the world.

direct action is very effective
one of many examples of its effectiveness is the u.k. abandoning the m1 road project
