Hull Independent Cinema: We, The Hated + Q&A

Hull Independent Cinema presents…
WE, THE HATED + Q&A
Dir Rich Felgate | UK | 2026 | 89 mins | Rating TBC | English

An intimate documentary portrait of Just Stop Oil activists, chronicling the British protest group's high-profile actions between 2022 and 2025. Director Richard Felgate, who is in a relationship with the group's co-founder Indigo Rumbelow, gains rare insider access, opening and closing the film with phone calls to Rumbelow while she serves a prison sentence. Through figures like a soup-throwing young activist, a vicar who blocks traffic, and an older woman balancing protest with family life, the film examines what personal sacrifice for climate action really costs, raising urgent questions about dissent, government crackdowns, and the fragile boundaries of democracy.

The screening will be followed by a live in-person Q&A with the film's director and producer, Rich Felgate, and contributor Mike Coleman. The Q&A will be hosted by Holly McGratten of Cooperation Hull.

ACCESSIBILITY
Subtitles
This film will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles. In addition to reproducing dialogue, these subtitles include additional non-dialogue sounds available to a hearing audience, e.g. "(sighs)" or "(door creaks)" and song lyrics. In our experience, guests do not find the subtitles distracting, especially as the majority of our films are subtitled foreign language films.

Hull Independent Cinema is working towards making our films more accessible. We have decided to present all our films with Descriptive Subtitles where available.

AGE RATING
WE, THE HATED is not yet rated. We will announce more information closer to the screening date.
