Films - “They Shall Not Pass!”

As an historical event, The Battle of Cable Street has been interpreted in many different ways by many different people, raising issues such as: racism, discrimination, economic and political ideologies, degrees of tolerance, freedom of speech, personal identity and expression.

Here are six films produced during Film For Humanity’s inaugural workshop “They Shall Not Pass!” - marking the 70th anniversary of, and inspired by, The Battle of Cable Street.

For most of the aspiring filmmakers involved, this was not only the first time they had made a film, but also the first time they had handled professional broadcast equipment.














The films can be viewed with Quicktime 7, which you can download free here: quicktime
