Feature length documentary about the Dale Farm gypsy evictions, focusing on the council and travellers' decade long battle.
The 90-minute single tells of the decade long battle between Irish travellers, local residents and the council over a former scrapyard known as Dale Farm in Basildon, Essex which the travellers owned but developed without planning permission.
When the High Court eventually granted permission for the council to evict the travellers, Dale Farm became the site of a turf war, which resulted in harrowing scenes of violence.
