Documentary Unit - Filtering My Idea

Based upon a small tutorial I had with Helen, I filtered my original idea of anonymous to make it a more foreseeable and vaibility of the story. I found a local revolutionist group that don the Guy Fawkes mask, which peacefully protest in the local arera in a very interesting way. Essentially, the CCTV cars that drive around and fine drivers for parking illegally, essentially they make the public aware of where they are, as the cars are often incognito due to their cars being small and agile.

Relating this back to the BBC brief of my hero, these guys are heroes in many peoples eyes, because of their courage to stand up against the corporate machine. They have costed the local council thousands because of this method, but peacefully so it will be interesting to see how they overcome this. But to understand why they do this, you. Must understand the broader picture. So the next stage will be pre production and researching for my doc.

With this in mind, here are the details that I have come across and some articles online based on this group:

Isn't it amazing what you can find online? Anyway, the main port of call is to find out if they are prepared to feature in a documentary about them.
