The London Film Festival (LFF) cancelled the screening of 'Undercover: Exposing the Far Right' due to safety concerns amidst a climate of fear surrounding far-right activities in Britain.
Director Havana Marking expressed her disappointment at the cancellation, emphasizing the unfortunate timing and the growing difficulty of presenting politically charged documentaries in a climate of fear.
Despite the cancellation, Marking remains hopeful as the film is still set to air on Channel 4, acknowledging the support from both Channel 4 and the British Film Institute.
Amid rising tensions and safety concerns, the festival organizers prioritized staff welfare, but Marking voiced frustration about the exaggerated fears of far-right power influencing the decision.
