DocHouse: We, The Hated

WE, THE HATED turns a lens on the people behind one of the most polarising protest movements in recent history: Just Stop Oil.

Director Rich Felgate, who is in a relationship with Just Stop Oil's founder, brings an insider closeness to the story, as the group go through actions, threats and repeated arrests. What emerges goes deeper than placards and road blocks: it's a portrait of individuals who have weighed up the personal consequences of action against the existential stakes of inaction.

With fossil fuels driving both the climate crisis and global conflict, and governments increasingly cracking down on dissent, the film raises urgent questions about protest, power and what democracy actually means in practice.
