This hard-hitting film asks where does democracy end and crime begin? Do we have a right to peaceful protest or are we really controlled by the establishment? Is our voices heard? Are we a democracy or just a more sophisticated dictatorship? People are dying across the Middle East fighting for civil liberties and the right to a democratic way of life while in the UK, protesters are feeling their democratic rights slipping away.
