"...thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile docu-blast against Tony
Blair's insidious diminution of native British liberties..Atkins
captures pungent moments of low comedy." Guardian

Taking Liberties is BAFTA nominated director Chris Atkins's film
that uncovers the stories the government don’t want you to hear –
so ridiculous you will laugh, so ultimately terrifying you will
want to take action. Teenage sisters detained for 36 hours for a
peaceful protest; an RAF war veteran arrested for wearing an anti-
Bush and Blair T-shirt; an innocent man shot in a police raid; and
a man held under house arrest for two years, after being found
innocent in court. Ordinary law-abiding citizens being punished for
exercising their ‘rights’ – rights that have been fought for over
centuries, and which seem to have been extinguished in a decade.

The film will be introduced by Bristol no2ID campaign.
