Watching the preview in London the day before first broadcast was a nostalgic experience. There were clowns and bike riders present but the communist didn't show. As an activist I am not accustomed to seeing my world portrayed on television, let alone accurately. For that reason alone I feel that this documentary is groundbreaking. I thought it was insightful and very funny - though some of the humor may be lost on non-activists. Comparisons will inevitably be made to "The Life of Brian" (Judean People's Front! - we're the People's Front of Judea!) The most powerful stuff for me was towards the end of the film where you get some idea of what it is like to be confronted by riot police. One thing which wasn't covered very well was the blockades. There were probably over 4,000 people taking part in the blockades on July 6th but this was not mentioned. Viewers could be left with the impression that it was just a few clowns blocking a single road. Overall an important yet entertaining documentary which certainly deserves a wider audience than it had when broadcast on BBC Four.
