The story so far: In 2004 a group of Brighton peace campaigners began to bang pot and pans outside their local arms manufacturers EDO MBM in disgust of their part in the Iraq war. This has grown into the Smash EDO campaign, which has cost the company millions, been the subject of large scale police operations and has tested the right to protest in the UK.
Using activist, police and CCTV footage plus interviews with those involved in the campaign, On The Verge tells the story of one of the most persistent and imaginative campaigns to emerge out of the UK's anti-war movement and direct action scene.
Police attempts to stop On The Verge being screened have also began. The premier screening of the film in Brighton was pulled at the last minute after police invention, and several venues due to host the tour and film have been subjected to police threats.
On the Verge, the film they tried to ban, makes its debut in St Andrews followed by a talk from the makers, Smash EDO themselves.
