Been impatiently waiting for this since the Kickstarter announcement and it’s so worth the wait. Photographs of decades of protest in the UK with photographer David Hoffman’s commentary. Fantastic book, and a sobering reminder of systemic police brutality. You can buy a copy here https://www.imageandreality.co.uk/store #Protest #DavidHoffman #books #SocialHistory

The Information Society is a #documentary that ran on PBS (in the USA) decades ago (1980? or 1979). There are parts of it still relevant today and the others where predicted and came to be. It runs just under an hour. Thanks to the filmmaker for republishing it!
