Reviews and further info
'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

Excellent video report on the Genoa court case. The video which Hamish from undercurrents recorded of the Police raid is featured.
