Screening of the documentary 'We, The Hated' about Just Stop Oil, with a Q&A with director Rich Felgate.
Volcano Theatre is screening We, The Hated on Wednesday 18 November, with doors opening at 6:30pm and the film starting at 7:00pm. It's a documentary by Rich Felgate, and the Swansea screening comes with a Q&A with the filmmaker afterwards, so you'll get to hear from him in person once the credits roll.
The film follows four activists — Indigo, Mark, Phoebe and Jane — who've become part of Just Stop Oil, one of the most polarising protest movements in recent memory. It's less about the headlines and more about the personal cost of civil disobedience when you're operating in the face of the climate emergency. You see the four of them as they navigate that tension between their convictions and the toll it takes on their lives.
Rich Felgate directed and produced it, and he's a documentary filmmaker whose debut feature, Finite, won the FIPADOC Impact Grand Prix and was broadcast by public service broadcasters around the world, including NHK. We, The Hated had its world premiere as the opening night film of Sheffield Doc Fest, so this is one of its first outings in Wales.

If you've followed the Just Stop Oil protests from afar, this is a chance to see the people behind them rather than just the images on the news. The Q&A gives you a bit more to go on, too — a chance to ask Felgate about the making of the film or the stories that didn't make the final cut. Doors at 6:30pm, film starts at 7:00pm, at Volcano Theatre in Swansea.
