Inspired by the CND Cymru archive, this film explores militarism and land occupation in mid Wales through grassroots emblems, archival materials, and personal testimonies. Featuring voices of a CND activist and former US Naval staff at RAF Brawdy, it blends hand-processed 16mm techniques to reframe anti-nuclear, environmental, and peace movements since the 1970s.
The filmmaker uses hand-processed 16mm techniques, echoing the DIY ethos of CND Cymru, to reframe archival materials and question how grassroots environmental and peace movements were represented before the internet.

Laura Phillips (b. 1986, Bristol) is an artist working with 16mm photochemical film processes and field recordings.
