Eco-activist to attend film screening
Somerset Guardian
|July 03, 2025
A Radstock climate protester who was jailed for blocking traffic on the M4 will be taking part in a Q&A after the screening of a new documentary film in which he appears.
-
'The Line We Crossed,' directed by award-winning filmmaker Liz Smith, focuses on claims of an alarming clampdown on protest rights in the UK and is seen through the eyes of climate activists.
The film offers intimate access to the lives and experiences of those on the frontlines of environmental protest such as Stephen Pritchard, who moved from Bath to Radstock.
He was jailed for five weeks in 2023 after a demonstration at Junction 3 of the M4 which disrupted 10,000 vehicles, in October 2021.
His three fellow defendants, including grandmother Ruth Cook from Frome, were given suspended six-week jail sentences.
Mr Pritchard was jailed because he had told the court he would not stop taking part in similar action as a “matter of conscience”.
