Free Party: A Folk History is an independently produced documentary that traces the origins of the free party movement, which emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The film delves into the early days of the movement, highlighting the pivotal encounter between ravers and New Age travellers during the final years of Margaret Thatcher’s government. It also examines the explosive growth of the scene, leading up to the infamous 1992 Castlemorton free festival – the largest illegal rave in history. The documentary explores how this event sparked a significant shift in UK law, culminating in the introduction of the Criminal Justice Act in 1994, which severely restricted rights to public assembly and trespass. Featuring SPIRAL TRIBE, DIY, BEDLAM, CIRCUS WARP and many others.
