Screening of the documentary Operation Recomply about the Filton 25, followed by a Q&A with director Alex Grace led by Yasmin, Chair of Derby Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
QUAD is screening the documentary Operation Recomply on Friday 13 November, with a Q&A to follow. The film runs 87 minutes and carries a 15 certificate, and the director, Alex Grace, will be there in person to talk about it afterwards. The conversation is led by Yasmin, Chair of the Derby Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
Operation Recomply follows the families of the Filton 25 and documents their fight for justice as the state escalates its crackdown on the pro-Palestine movement. The story goes back to 6 August 2024, when six activists broke into Elbit Systems, the headquarters of an Israeli weapons manufacturer in Filton, England, aiming to disrupt the arms trade to Israel. While inside, they discovered and destroyed undeclared, fully assembled quadcopter drones ready for export.
That action triggered an unprecedented counter-terror policing investigation known as Operation Recomply. By July 2025, twenty-four people had been arrested in connection with it and held under the Terrorism Act. Alex Grace filmed the result, and the film focuses on the families left to deal with the fallout. The Q&A gives you a chance to hear from the director himself after the screening.
