TAKING LIBERTIES (2007)

Cast

Plot

An often witty, but first and foremost angry, look at the erosion of the UK's civil liberties since we voted in Tony Blair's New Labour back in 1997. Showing a climate of fear and paranoia, whipped up by a rabidly partial media, that has enabled an insidious political erosion of people's basic rights and with commentary from, amongst others, Tony Benn and Mark Thomas, 'Taking Liberties' is a timely, fascinating and frightening indictment of the transparent reality behind the Saville-suited baby-hugging act that substitutes for idealism in modern politics.
