Description
Britain is locking up climate activists. You’ve probably heard of some of them – they’re the road-blockers, soup-throwers and spray-painters who made headlines around the world as Just Stop Oil. Some are now facing years in prison, caught under the wheels of a crackdown on protest. But what type of person risks their freedom for a cause they believe in?
Committed is a new podcast series from Novara Media about Britain's political prisoners. Over four episodes, reporters Rivkah Brown and Clare Hymer follow five young activists into jail and out again. Once the orange paint has dried, how do they make sense of their actions? What's life like inside prison? How does their sentence affect the people they love most? And with Just Stop Oil’s campaign coming to an end, was it all worth it?
