The Line We Crossed, dir. Liz Smith, UK 2025, 112 min., English, 15
Book tickets
A hauntingly urgent documentary that charts the quiet collapse of dissent in modern Britain. From the bold front lines of climate resistance—featuring activists from Just Stop Oil and Insulate Britain, as well as the emergence of Defend Our Juries—the film threads together a powerful tapestry of defiance, fear, and state control. As the government pushes through sweeping anti-protest laws, these ordinary citizens find their words criminalised and their bodies constrained by arrests, harsh sentences, and mounting intimidation.
Presented in collaboration with ClientEarth, this screening is followed by a panel discussion witht director Liz Smith, individuals appearing in the film, and Head of UK at ClientEarth Kyle Lischak.
