This short film doc­u­ments the cor­rup­tion, con­flict of inter­est and hypocrisy dom­i­nat­ing the pol­i­tics of South Lanark­shire, that result in Scot­tish Coal receiv­ing approval for coal mine after coal mine in the Dou­glas Val­ley. With no regard for com­mu­ni­ty health, local democ­ra­cy, the envi­ron­ment or cli­mate change, Scot­tish Coal are allowed to run roughshod over the peo­ple of the Dou­glas Val­ley. The Main­shill Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp occu­pied the site of Main­shill Wood over six months ago to help local com­mu­ni­ties fight off Scot­tish Coal and the landown­er Lord Home.

The strug­gle con­tin­ues!

Since the 18.12.09 ROBIN WOOD-Activists squat sev­er­al trees in the Gäh­ler­park in Ham­burg Altona to impende the con­truc­tion of a heat­ing pipeline for the planned coal pow­er plant Ham­burg Moor­burg, which would mean the loss of the trees in the park. The com­pa­ny propos­ing the pipeline is Vat­ten­fall, a Swedish cor­po­ra­tion. With their protest they sup­port two res­i­dents who have squat­tet two trees already at 3rd of decem­ber.
