<h3><b>All they wanted was the freedom to party. The State saw them as
the enemy within.</b></h3>A timely DIY indie film that follows the birth
of the UK’s free party movement from the late 80s and early 90s and the
social, political and cultural impact it’s had on our present times. Many
Tories believed the movement’s DIY anti-consumerist lifestyles, prophetic
environmental, radical, direct action anti-road protest and animal
welfare ethos threatened the foundations of their neoliberal era State.
The film explores the inception of the movement, a meeting between urban
ravers and the new age travellers during Thatcher’s last days in power,
and the explosive years that followed, leading to the infamous
Castlemorton free festival in 1992 – the largest ever illegal rave, which
provoked the drastic change of the laws of trespass with the notorious
introduction of the Criminal Justice Act in 1994. Eschewing tired
formulaic filmmaking styles and tokenistic big name DJ sound-bites, this
exhilarating modern day folktale is told exclusively by those who were in
the thick of it and features interviews with members of Spiral Tribe, DIY
Sound system, Circus Warp, Bedlam and many others.<br><br>
