The schedule for this term:
26th October - The Wave
Based on a true story, the film explores autocracy and fascism from a modern perspective. After the film, we'll have a discussion about the issues brought up in the film, fascism and autocracy, and the possibility of fascism in the UK.
8th October - Good Night and Good Luck
Based around Mcarthyism and the media coverage within America, the film stars George Clooney among others.
23rd November - Lefties: Property is Theft
The film tells the story of Villa Road in London, an entirely squatted street during the 1970s. Within the houses, anarchists mixed with hippies and feminists, and homeless single mothers rubbed shoulders with marxist revolutionaries.
Mrs Thatcher went on to wage war on squatters, and the new Conservative government are attempting to do the same. After the film we'll have a brief discussion. What should be done about squatting? What type of person squats? And what happened to communities like Villa Road?
