Greenpeace podcast: behind the scenes at the Kingsnorth Trial
Posted by bex on 24 September 2008.
In this special edition of our podcast, we take a behind the scenes look at the extraordinary events that have already gone down in legend here at the Greenpeace office. This month, six Greenpeace activists were acquitted of causing criminal damage to Kingsnorth coal-fired power station, because they were acting to prevent greater damage caused by climate change. The verdict has been hailed by some of the world's more hysterical media pundits as the official start of a state of anarchy in the UK.
I spent ten days with the defendants, finding out what was really happening, and how they were coping with the emotion, stress and drama of being at the centre of it all.

Just had a listen
...I now have images in my head of Ben struggling off for a run at 6 a.m. in the horizontal rain ... all crossing your fingers under your knees... Emily trying not to cry... poor hugh getting all prepped up only to have to wait another night.
all very human.
And I'm glad someone has told us that Tim is a nice bloke. I wouldn't have known otherwise ;-)
lovely podcast - brought home to me the huge personal trial you all went through... and boy was it worth it! YAY!
