Any method used to "disarm" Trident is acceptable, as long as it does not endanger or harm anybody. Members of the 'Ploughshares' cut the fences of the submarine bases, they swim up to the submarines to dismantle test equipment, and they sink computers from floating laboratories into the sea.
They always wait to be arrested. In hundreds of court cases, they have justified their actions as "preventing the greater crime" - nuclear war. They refer to the International Court of Justice opinion, which states that the use of nuclear weapons is illegal. Some have resulted in groundbreaking acquittals.
The documentary visits a "disarmament camp", follows spectacular actions by Trident Ploughshares, and investigates the legal and political background.
