CO2The Ecol­o­gist Film Unit (EFU), a col­lab­o­ra­tion between the eth­i­cal inves­ti­ga­tions agency Ecos­torm and the Ecol­o­gist mag­a­zine, has recent­ly pro­duced a short film called ‘Melt­ing Point: the new front­line in eco-activism’. Ahead of next mon­th’s ‘Cli­mate Camp’ at Kingsnorth pow­er sta­tion, Kent, the film expos­es gov­ern­ment tac­tics in reac­tion to envi­ro­men­tal protests.

Espi­onage, news manip­u­la­tion, legal threats and even vio­lence have become the knee-jerk response of Gov­ern­ment and big busi­ness to the increas­ing and vocal con­cerns of envi­ron­men­tal activists in the UK. This exclu­sive and pow­er­ful film expos­es the extra­or­di­nary tac­tics being used to reframe con­cerned cit­i­zens engag­ing in their right to protest, as dan­ger­ous ter­ror­ists.

The film can be viewed on var­i­ous web­sites includ­ing Green TV (www.green.tv) or the Ecol­o­gist web­site (www.theecologist.org/etv/).
