Terrorists - The kids they sentenced
 
A screening to support those arrested in last years so called "terror raids".
 
This Swedish documentary explores the story's of several activists arrested during anti globalisation protests at a European Union summit.  It is about the sentences given to demonstrators arrested during and after the Gotheburg Riots in conjunction with the EU summit in Gothenburg in 2001. The film uses interviews and police footage to explore why the demonstrators were there, the brutal police response to the protests and the arrests during the protests. Several of those arrested received prison sentences and this film looks at how the state portrays those that oppose it as violent and extremist. A heartfelt and powerful look behind the cliches and violent imagery the mainstream media uses.
 
The film will be preceded by two short films about activism and protest movements in Aotearoa.
 
All proceeds from the screening will go to support those arrested in last years terror raids
 
When: 7pm, Wednesday 5th March
