---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Andrew Morrison <radicalfilmnetwork@...> Date: Mon, Oct 5, 2020 at 1:00 PM Subject: Attack on filmmaker of Unquiet Graves To: <radicalfilmnetwork@...> Colleagues and comrades, Sean Murray is currently defending himself against an attack on his film Unquiet Graves. He has issued the attached warning letter to those that want to suppress the rights of filmmakers to question state sponsored killings. Migrant Media is familiar with this in our own dealings with the British government in exposing on film the killings of black people in police custody. We feel it is important that RFN supports him. If you agree with the following brief statement please reply to this email to say so listing your names and group. "Independent radical filmmaker Sean Murray is currently being attacked about his documentary film 'Unquiet Graves'.The story of the Glenanne Gang details how members of the RUC and UDR, (a British Army regiment) were centrally involved in the murder of over 120 innocent civilians during the recent conflict in Ireland. This article outlines the form of the attack. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/unquiet-graves-td-flanagan-writes-to-rte-about-dubious-documentary-on-glenanne-gang-39579029.html We condemn the attempts to suppress and intimidate the right of filmmakers to question state sponsored killings and stand in solidarity with Sean and his right to produce and distribute this work in order to open a debate and question the UK's record on the human rights abuses exposed in Unquiet Graves."
