Now documentaries are a danger to democracy
After returning from the Berlin Film Festival last week, four actors were detained under anti-terror laws by the police at Luton airport.
They were returning last Thursday after the premiere of the film, The Road to Guantánamo. It depicts the life of three men from Tipton in the West Midlands, who go to Afghanistan and end up being held for two years by the US at its military base on Cuba before being released without charge.

According to a spokeswoman for Bedfordshire police, which patrols Luton airport: “Part of the counter-terrorism act allows us to stop and examine people if something happens that might be suspicious.”
Like attending a film festival, for example.
