Stopping Work at Mainshill
documents the destruction caused by the ongoing work to turn Mainshill Wood into an open cast coal mine, up until October 2009, and the many actions that had taken place to stop and slow it. This video was in preparation for a gathering at the Mainshill Solidarity Camp that saw over 70 people come to the camp for the weekend and take action against the treefelling and drillling.
The eviction of the camp finally begun on Monday 25th January. It lasted 5 days, 45 people were arrested in the process and over 70 people took part in the eviction. The campaign, however, is still going strong and actions continue!

How to download
Video download help
Whenever someone uploads a video, our server keeps a full-quality copy of it so that you can download it for screenings. However, we do not currently have the capacity to serve these big files ourselves. Instead, we offer a download via Bittorrent, a peer-to-peer filesharing sytem.
In order to download the full-quality video, you will need to have some software installed on your computer. Basically you have two choices:
Bittorrent + VLC
Bittorrent software shares the file you are downloading with other people as you download it. If you want to help us distribute video files, please leave your Bittorrent client open after your download finishes and you'll be donating your bandwidth and making everyone's downloads faster.
All of the full-quality video has been converted into a free format called Ogg Theora. The easiest way to watch them is to use the excellent VLC video player which you can download here. Alternatively, you may download the Ogg plugin for Quicktime, or Ogg plugin for Windows Media Player.
Miro
Another easy way to see the full-quality video on our site is to press this button:
This will allow you to download Miro, which takes care of feed-reading, Bittorrent and video-playing software in one easy to use package. You can find out more about its features
at the Miro site. Once you've installed Miro, you can subscribe to our
video feed to automatically receive all of our latest videos, or click the 'download torrent' link underneath the video above to download only the video file you want.
Security note
If you are incredibly paranoid about other people knowing that you are downloading a video, please note that your computer's IP address will be visible to the people who you are sharing the video with. In this case, don't use Bittorrent or Miro.
