On the day of filming, Israel had been bombing Gaza for 7 days using radar systems, bomb delivery mechanisms, planes and other weapons technologies designed, supplied and maintained by arms companies such as Raytheon, Boeing, Thales and Rolls Royce.

These companies all have offices in Bristol Business Park, Frenchay. The roof of Raytheon's office has been occupied since 10th of december 2008.

The film includes:

Interviews with the Smash Raytheon campaign. Rooftop occupiers have been up for several weeks, hear why.

A little look at their weapons park neighbour Boeing, whose windows where smashed out by concerned Bristolians.

And the 400 strong protest that day in the centre of town against the outrageous aerial attacks on the people of Gaza, that preceded military invasion.

SHUTDOWN BRISTOL WEAPONS PARK!
