Incredible footage about the police and protest, from local news, police instruction archives, and amateur film. Sometimes shocking, sometimes humorous and downright surreal, these films present a slice of history, as well as food for thought and for action!

The programme includes:

- Rare footage from police instruction films

- News films of protest coverage

- Protest footage from the last Conservative Government including with Miners Strikes

- Footage of the 1968 Grosvenor Square Riots

- And a little gem called "School Protest Over "Too Much Discipline" " (3 minutes) - a brilliant juxtaposition of a patronising news reporter with a young boy, who comes across as a bit of a school hero!
