BB&B Synopsis and further information
Can you save the planet with a bicycle lock?
Maybe.
Birds, Booze & Bulldozers is the inside story of Britain’s environmental direct action movement – the most effective political counter-culture of the 1990s.
More at home with a ball at his feet and a pint in hand, Lester Stype is drawn into becoming an activist to help save the downland of his youth. The action follows Lester and his fellow ‘dozer divers up cranes, down bunkers and through long, cold winters in an attempt to stand up for what we stand upon.
A motley band of protestors trying to find the balance between protecting life and having one, as their actions change policy, society and ultimately themselves. Youthful passion clashes against the colossal power of big business and the state.
However, trying to defeat a £23 billion government road programme is a vegan picnic compared to dealing with heartbreak and hangovers.

I’d rather save the world with a bicycle as this sort of thing scares me. Nevertheless those who do it are doing their bit and it saves me having to do the same.
