Police Spies Film

I designed and directed a campaign film for Police Spies Out of Lives which was projected onto the Royal Courts of Justice to coincide with an inquiry into undercover policing. Images were also projected onto New Scotland Yard and The Garrick Club.

Police Spies Out of Lives are a campaigning support group who are demanding an end to the sexual and psychological abuse of campaigners and others by undercover police officers. Since 1968, the Metropolitan Police has been deploying undercover police officers to form relationships and spy on women involved in political activism.

An allegedly 'public' inquiry into this operation has begun, though the public is not allowed to attend, the media is not allowed access to footage or audio recordings and the hearings aren't being live streamed. As such, this video is designed to speak truth to power and shine a light on this story in a bid to ensure that these abuses never happen again.
