re-size
4 April 2009: Strasbourg, France, was the set for protests against the 2009 NATO Summit, but as thousands marched on the Pont Du l'Europe German border point to greet 5000 German protestors, roads blocked by riot police opened fire. Endless tear gas and concussion grenades rained down, and rubber bullets found targets in densely populated crowds. Return fire came fast, first rocks and bottles, then flares and fireworks.

This is just a teaser video of the forthcoming work from myself and Reel News, as the UK and rest of the world slips into mass social unrest, an uneasy and angry reaction to the global economic crisis, failing capitalism, bank bailouts, the military industrial complex and those politicians that are trying desperately to hold the old western civilisation together.

Special thanks to Senser and Paul West at Imprint Music for the use of the latest Senser single "Resistance Now" from the forthcoming album "How To Do Battle".

    Wow! you would never have guessed from the news coverage here that it had turned into a war zone. That is why we need reports like this.
