Screening of Rich Felgate's drama about a filmmaker whose girlfriend becomes part of the Just Stop Oil protest movement.
We, The Hated screens at Storyhouse Cinema on Saturday 28 November, starting at 5pm. It's a drama directed by Rich Felgate, running about 89 minutes, and it takes Just Stop Oil as its subject.
The story follows a filmmaker whose girlfriend becomes part of the group, one of the most polarising protest movements in recent memory. As irreversible climate tipping points loom and the group's controversial tactics face mounting repression, four activists — Indigo, Mark, Phoebe and Jane — grapple with the personal cost of action weighed against the existential stakes of inaction. It's a film that puts the human side of the movement front and centre, focusing on the people inside it rather than just the headlines.
If you've followed the news around Just Stop Oil, you'll know how divided the reaction has been, and that's exactly the ground the film works on. It doesn't just look at the protests themselves, but at the toll they take on the people involved — the tension between the urgency they feel and the personal cost of acting on it. With four different characters to follow, it gives you a few different ways into that struggle.
