The feature length documentary will examine how the truth about the Gaza genocide is being censored in the mainstream and social media, in education and entertainment and how — in the most terrifying way — terrorism law is being used to silence dissent.
The film features interviews with prominent figures such as comedian Alexei Sayle and acclaimed filmmaker Ken Loach, offering unique perspectives on how the media in Britain and Ireland are failing to report the truth in regards to the Gaza genocide.
There will be a panel discussion after the film. Shown in conjunction with Dumfries Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message:
the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.

When a massive Chinese factory complex in rural Ethiopia plans an ambitious expansion to a second site, the realities of industrialisation are pulled into focus.

Filmed over four years, Made in Ethiopia lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound change.
