An insightful portrait of action on film.
It’s a sprightly and frequently funny film, even if you view the efforts of these (mostly young, oddly posh) campaigners as fundamentally ineffectual.
The protest groups are intensely English, a roving awkward squad, intent on mischief and being a fly in the ointment of profit; yet they make friends with the bemused coppers and bailiffs, and get a bit upset when things inevitably go sour.
Sometimes even doing the right thing doesn't save you from being tiresome.
Unfortunately, in showing how unthreatening [the protesters] really are, the film also reveals them to be a fairly boring lot and with the best will in the world, that doesn't make for particularly scintillating viewing.
The film is informative about the way they operate, but a good many questions go unasked.
Fascinating if one-sided.
