Reviews of Globalisation and the Media

'A well documented account of how some mainstream news organisations tend to represent political activism in an unbalanced and unfair way'

'Next up is Hamish Campbell, from the anti-capitalist film-making group Undercurrents. He filmed the whole raid as he hid behind a water tank on the roof of a nearby building - a very brave guy.'
BBC
