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'
Red Pepper
'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.
