Protests at Preston New Road
Produced for a criminology degree module, this film captures the intensity of police lines at Preston New Road as local protesters confront Cuadrilla’s fracking operations. Through exclusive interviews with leading criminologists and activists, we examine the volatile clash between the right to peaceful protest and the strategic use of “lock-ons.”
While the police defend “reasonable force” to protect corporate rights, this hard-hitting investigation questions whether the law truly protects democratic dissent or simply silences those who dare to disrupt.
