The Line We Crossed — a Liz Smith film
A British story of dissent, drawn from the frontlines of climate resistance.
Through the experiences of those who stood in defiance, The Line We Crossed traces the quiet unravelling of our protest rights. Released in cinemas in Summer 2025, it is an in-depth, independent account of ordinary people who put their bodies on the line — and of a legal system that answered with the harshest sentences for peaceful protest in living memory.

We are fiercely independent, and we intend to stay that way — it is what lets us make human rights films on our own terms. That freedom rests entirely on our audience: people who believe these stories are worth telling, and who help us tell them.
We are now raising the funds to finish our next feature documentary, Nowhere To Go, due for release in Spring 2027. Every donation brings it closer to the screen, and everyone who gives is thanked with a credit in the film itself. Will you help us get it over the line?
