Roland Emmerich directs this political thriller based around the
notion that William Shakespeare was not in fact the author of the
canon of plays attributed to him. In Elizabethan England, political
intrigue abounds as the Tudors and the Cecils battle it out over
the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Joely Richardson/Vanessa
Redgrave), and the Essex Rebellion mobilises against her. Enter the
dashing and wildly talented Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford
(Jamie Campbell Bower/Rhys Ifans), who not only fathers an
illegitimate son in a clandestine incestuous relationship with
Queen Elizabeth, but is also the secret author of the plays labeled
with the name of William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall).
Double bill of British dramas about football violence and
hooliganism. 'The Football Factory' (2004) is based on the novel by
John King. Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a bright but bored
30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family who lives for
the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence.
Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright
(Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a
country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland
Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and
drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran
who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary
style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the
lure and potency of football violence. 'Arrivederci Millwall'
(1990) follows a group of hardcore Millwall supporters as they
travel to Bilbao in Spain for England's World Cup matches in 1982.
Their rowdy behaviour soon leads them into trouble, and the
violence escalates as Billy Jarvis (Kevin O'Donohoe) steals a gun
to avenge his brother's death in the Falklands conflict.

Across the world, millions of people are taking to the streets
demanding urgent action on climate breakdown and other
environmental emergencies. Extinction Rebellion, Fridays for Future
and Climate Strikes are part of a new lexicon of environmental
protest advocating civil disobedience to leverage change. This
groundbreaking book -- also a Special Issue of the Journal of Human
Rights and the Environment -- critically unveils the legal and
political context of this new wave of eco-activisms. It illustrates
how the practise of dissent builds on a long tradition of
grassroots activism, such as the Anti-Nuclear movement, but brings
into focus new participants, such as school children, and new
distinctive aesthetic tactics, such as the mass 'die-ins' and
'discobedience' theatrics in public spaces. Expert international
authors offer fresh insights into the strategies and goals of these
protest movements, the changing vocabulary of environmental
activism, such as the 'climate emergency', and the contribution of
specific protest actors, particularly youth and Indigenous peoples.
They also consider how some governments have responded to these
actions with draconian anti-protest legislation, and by using the
Covid-19 pandemic as cover to keep protesters off the streets. The
scholarly analyses are complemented with first-hand interviews of
some leading protagonists, including Extinction Rebellion leaders
and Green Party politicians. The result is an unrivalled analysis
of the role of new environmental protest movements seeking to drive
a new generation of policies and laws for climate action and social
justice. This impressive book will prove an important and
insightful read for students and scholars interested in
environmental law, climate law, and grass roots activism
specifically.
