Committed: 1. What Kind of Person Goes to Prison for Their Politics?
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
In episode one of Committed, Clare Hymer and Rivkah Brown meet the imprisoned Just Stop Oil activists who took direct action against the climate crisis and faced dire consequences.
By blocking roads, climbing bridges and throwing soup at paintings, they made headlines – and became national hate figures in the process. We find out how four ordinary young people ended up as convicted criminals, at the sharp end of the government’s crackdown on protest.
Episode 2 coming on 24 April.
