Description

Produced & Directed by James McGuire http://www.facebook.com/sanduron http://www.twitter.com/mcguirevideo http://www.james-mcguire.co.uk This protest was arguably the most politically & socially relevant aspect to Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, yet an aspect which the mainstream media for the most part chose to marginalise, stigmatise or flat out ignore. For that reason, I voluntarily produced this short in order to document a more representative record of the positive nature of the protest.
