About NO2ID Scarborough

Showing of the film Taking Liberties in Scarborough

Right to Protest, Right to Freedom of Speech. Right to Privacy. Right not to be detained without charge, Innocent Until Proven Guilty. Prohibition from Torture. TAKING LIBERTIES will reveal how these six central pillars of liberty have been systematically destroyed by New Labour, and the freedoms of the British people stolen from under our noses amidst a climate of fear created by the media and government itself.

TAKING LIBERTIES uncovers the stories the government don't want you to hear­ so ridiculous you will laugh, so ultimately terrifying you will want to take action. Teenage sisters detained for 36 hours for a peaceful protest; an RAF war veteran arrested for wearing an anti-Bush and Blair T-shirt; an innocent man shot in a police raid; and a man held under house arrest for two years, after being found innocent in court. Ordinary law-abiding citizens being punished for exercising their rights ­ rights that have been fought for over centuries, and which seem to have been extinguished in a decade.

Irreverent but revelatory, outrageous but true, TAKING LIBERTIES combines real stories of people's loss of liberty, cheeky stunts and comment from Mark Thomas, Tony Benn and Boris Johnson along with many other celebrities, campaigners, academics and lawyers. It also features narration from Ashley Jensen (Extras, Ugly Betty), an exciting soundtrack including tracks by Oasis, Radiohead, The Stranglers and Franz Ferdinand; and the presence of Kurt Engfehr, producer of FAHRENHEIT 9/11 and BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE add up to make TAKING LIBERTIES essential viewing.
