Showcasing how alienating the ‘hippy eco-warrior’ protest movement can be – with its drastic actions, and dramatic generalisations (“people power vs. corporate greed”) – we ask: why <em>do </em>some of us feel that extreme protest is the only option?</p><p><br></p><p>To investigate this, we follow the battle between a small group of claimants and the Oil and Gas Authority and start to uncover a seemingly symbiotic relationship between the government and the fossil fuel industry. </p><p><br></p><p>Which leads us to some uncomfortable questions: have corporations impacted our democracy, how did this happen…and were the hippies right after all?</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Tilly Robinson"}
