On Saturday 27 December 2008 Israel launched an unprecedented attack into the Gaza Strip. In London protestors took to the streets en-mass, in their thousands. There the anger and outrage manifested themselves in Kensington, the home of the Israeli embassy.
Part One covers the first major protest on Saturday 3 January, where 50,000 people marched through London and over 5,000 protested outside the Israeli embassy, and looks at the comparisons between policing the pro-Palestine protests and the pro-Israel protests.
Boiling Point is not so much a fully narrated film piece, more of a visual account of what happened between Saturday 3 January and Sunday 11 January, allowing the footage of those days to do the storytelling. Constructed from nearly ten hours of footage shot over four days on two cameras, hopefully it gives the viewer an idea of what really happens down on the front line of a riot situation.
