Crime drama starring Billy Murray, Vas Blackwood and Alex Esmail. 20 years after the suspicious deaths of three of the country's most shocking killers sparked the collapse of a criminal empire, the murderer is yet to be caught. Newcomers have taken the lead of gangland Britain and revenge is on the agenda, with justice and vengeance in their sights.
Gritty crime thriller, from director Stuart St Paul, about a group of Russian criminals operating a sex trade in the heart of Northern England. Led by the ruthless Cristi (Danny Midwinter), the gang kidnaps and traffics a group of Eastern Europeans to Leeds, forcing the men into illegal fighting and the women into the sex industry. When they capture local businessman Gabe Taylor (Billy Murray)'s daughter, however, things turn ugly, and it's a race against time to get her back alive in time for her wedding.
British mockumentary set in the seedy, cash-strapped world of low-budget filmmaking. A year after an independent production company set out to make a micro-budget feature film entitled 'Just for the Record', the cast and crew reunite to discuss the ill-fated production. The cast includes Steven Berkoff, Danny Dyer, Sean Pertwee, Craig Fairbrass, Rik Mayall, Lisa McAllister and Phil Davis.
The United States has a hate problem. In recent years, hate speech has led not only to deep division in our politics but also to violence, murder, and even insurrection. And yet established constitutional jurisprudence holds that all speech is protected as "content neutral" and that the proper democratic response to hateful expression is not regulation but "more speech." So how can ordinary citizens stand up to hate groups when the state will not? In Combating Hate, Billie Murray proposes an answer to this question. As a participant in anti-racist and anti-fascist protests, including demonstrations against the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and the Westboro Baptist Church, Murray witnessed firsthand the limitations of the "more speech" approach as well as the combative tactics of anti-fascist activists. She argues that this latter group, commonly known as antifa, embodies a radically different strategy for combating hate, one that explodes the myth of content neutrality and reveals hate speech to be a tactic of fascist organizing with very real, highly anti-democratic consequences. Drawing on communication theory and this on-the-ground experience, Murray presents a new strategy, which she calls "allied tactics," rooted in the commitment to affirm, support, and even protect those who are the victims of hate speech. Engaging and sophisticated, Combating Hate contends that there are concrete ways to fight hate speech from the front lines. Murray's urgent argument that we reconsider how to confront and fight this blight on American life is essential reading for the current era.
