Phantom Parrot + Q&A 12A

This non-fiction thriller unravels a secret British government surveillance programme, and follows human rights activist Muhammad Rabbani as he is prosecuted under terror laws for refusing to hand over the passwords to his electronic devices.

Raising unsettling questions about the rule of law, modern espionage and digital privacy, director Kate Stonehill has crafted a razor-sharp analysis that interrogates our privacy in the era of information.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion including Muhammad Rabbani and Dr Chris Allen, Associate Professor at the School of Criminology, University of Leicester.
