Faslane navel base, only thirty miles from Glasgow in Scotland, is the base for Britain's Trident missile submarines that carry nuclear weapons with the destructive power equal to 1,000 Hiroshimas.
The blocades at Faslane Since 1999 there have been a series of mass non-violent but disruptive direct actions at Faslane and Coulport (five miles from Faslane) nuclear weapons bases on the Clyde - the Big Blockades!
These events see a diversity of people from all over the world, including lots of young people, churchmen and politicians turning out - many being arrested for trying to uphold international law, and stop Trident.
The 2004 blocadeThe event, held on the 23 August 2004, included a mass blockade and other forms of peaceful direct action including break-ins and swimming actions.
Blocades at Faslane are known for their friendly and carnival atmosphere. Camcorder Guerillas were there to capture the full story, using the exercise to give new members a chance to be part of the filming process.
Premiere Breach of the Peace was shown at Mono café-bar on 11 October 2004 and continues to be shown in various venues across Scotland.
