[@notmyrealaccount8564]

Wow this was so amazing and totally not what I expected when I clicked on this video! Brilliant acting too and such a unique way to explain such a horrific topic.

If the UK police, with their fame of being better than those of any other Nation, did this, then I just wonder what has happened in other Countries that are considered democratic.

[@pynn1000]

Thank you, the Guardian. This way of presenting these disturbing facts is powerful.

[@theGuardian]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the positive feedback, it's appreciated.

And not even against terrorists but against animalists and the such.

...and a women's group campaigning for equal pay and better childcare provision. The female officer who gave evidence in the Inquiry said not only was it a stupid waste of her time and taxpayers money but she was on a lower pay rate than her male colleagues!

[@shayneoneill1506]

This happened to a friend in New Zealand, she was an animal rights activist, and a man she was dating, sharing her bed with, turned out to be an undercover cop looking to take her down. Kinda messed her head up. Its sxual assault really, because who would consent to that if they knew?

[@wordzmyth]

When did this happen? Kiwi here

[@kidmohair8151]

and what is all of this for.... it's all to keep the rich and well-connected in their positions of power. they don't care who gets harmed or even killed. they just care about their power and money...

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

That's what police in a capitalist economy are for.

[@harrisoctavius]

I feel like I've spent 18 minutes in their shoes and I'm so confused. I want someone to explain it to me, but it's not the first time spy cops has been explained to me. Imagining this really happening to you it just defies belief and understanding.

[@IsabelAYoung]

What a brilliant film - powerful, original and interesting. Brings the story to life without de-centering the survivors. Thank you

[@alicequayle4625]

Really shoddy behaviour by the British police and establishment. Targeting people who were on the right side of history for the most part. Instead of targeting actual criminals.

[@teethincskate]

Pretty consistent behaviour for the british establishment.

[@tasteslikelightning]

Incredible! This is such a cool project. My heart goes out to all the women and activists affected. I strongly believe that there are still abuses like this continuing by the police and spycops. Hats off to these brave women!

Jesus, so wild this happened...

[@vikrantvijit1436]

This is a global malpractice of tearing apart from within, leaving no stones unturned via so-called professional protocols of spycraft. Great creative visualisation of surreal artforms in dramatic theatrical performances😊❤.

​@clareb2606 how is this your story?

[@johnsmith-jq1uc]

wow, criminals, i feel so sorry.

[@jakobbauz]

You are a criminal according to the laws of men. Doesn't mean that you are worth less, necessarily. Resistance fighters in Nazi Germany were criminals (no quotation marks, just criminals; by any definition). So maybe think... even just one step further than your incredibly dim-witted comment suggests.

[@steviewonderisnotblind5833]

you're so right, all cops are criminals.

Eastenders.

This is amateurishly medieval compared to what A.I. and, not to distant technology, is gunna be ale to do.

A comment not related to this video, but this seems to be the only manner to send feedback to this media company... I can see the number of views here are pathetic, you have existed Twitter, who is financing you guys? Up until 5, 6 years ago even a conservative such myself found interesting articles to read, at least in the arts and lifestyle sections, now it's all gone...such a shame

If you refuse to show your face, I have no reason to care about, or listen to, what you think.

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

What if showing your face would lead to horrific consequences?

[@gregothy9190]

I just want you to take a moment and think about why they might feel the need to cover their faces.

I assume your question is serious. It is NOT a joke. There's a Wikipedia article "UK undercover policing relationships scandal" which lists the sources.
