Sign Of The Times is a feature-length documentary examining the growing criminalisation of peaceful protest and conscience in the UK.
The film follows the rise of Defend Our Juries and documents a moment in which ordinary people — many of them elderly — are being arrested simply for holding placards opposing genocide. Through first-hand accounts, activist footage, and interviews with those directly affected, the film explores how anti-terror legislation, courtrooms, and policing are increasingly being used to restrict freedom of expression and protest.
Produced by Rainbow Collective, Sign Of The Times continues the story first explored in To Kill A War Machine, a documentary that asked difficult questions about protest, accountability, and the global weapons industry. While that film was banned in the UK, it has continued to be screened internationally — at festivals, cinemas, universities, and grassroots venues — and has been recognised with several independent award nominations and wins.
Sign Of The Times captures a historic moment as it unfolds, recording not only the legal and political shifts taking place, but the human cost of laws that criminalise conscience — and the courage of those who refuse to stay silent.
