Free Party: A Folk History

Also known as Free Party: A Folk History of the Free Party Movement

“They wanted the freedom to party. The state saw them as the enemy within.”

The film follows the inception of the movement, a meeting between ravers and the new age travellers during Thatcher's last days in power, and the explosive years that followed, leading up the infamous Castlemorton free festival in 1992 - the largest ever illegal rave, which provoked the drastic change of the laws of trespass with the notorious introduction of the Criminal Justice Act in 1994.
