The Ferret is delighted to invite you to watch The Haystack documentary on the big screen at the Grassmarket Community Cinema in Edinburgh.

Put together by a team of four young female journalists, the film seeks answers to both the simple and complex questions surrounding surveillance. Producer and director, Olivia Cappuccini explains;

“At a time when the U.S are rolling back their surveillance powers, we need to be asking why the UK isn’t following suit, and instead pushing forward with an unprecedented Bill that is more intrusive and could seriously challenge our fundamental civil liberties in the name of national security.”

After viewing the film, The Ferret has put together an expert panel who will explain where we're at now with the IP Bill, put it in a Scottish context and take questions from the floor.
