‘Spirit of Albion’
With so much discussion of the ‘Beanfield’, of late [radio 4 prog etc] , I thought I would celebrate the repair of my webserver, by introducing ‘The Spirit of Albion’, a film I contributed to on similar issues, but is a little more optimistic.
Produced in assocation with Britain’s “New Age Gypsies”, ALBION is politically, emotionally and spiritually a very moving film, providing a unique insight into the ways of travelling communities, the new nomads such as the Peace Convoy and Rainbow Village, who contue to be the object of authoritarian hatred and brutality as they struggle to re-establish the ancient right to gather for solstice celebrations at Stonehenge; and search for an end to human exploitation and global destruction in the New Age of our planet.
