‘Standing Our Ground’ is a powerful new short film by filmmaker Marta Lefler, about the past year of the campaign against the insanity that is the Combe Haven Link Road. It covers the extensive protests against the road, and situates them in the context of George Osborne’s national roadbuilding programme.
The film includes interviews with campaigners and shots of beautiful Combe Haven, as well as footage of actions including the tree occupations, building a road at Osborne’s country retreat, and the ‘Granny tree’.
There are a few sliver of my guitar at about 90 seconds in. I’m really proud to have been able to be of musical assistance to this brilliant and necessary campaign.
