We Did Not Consent

About This Movie

We Did Not Consent is a thought-provoking documentary directed by Dorothy Allen-Pickard that dives deep into the troubling history of British undercover police infiltrating activist circles. There's a raw, almost unsettling tone as it reveals how these officers manipulated women under the guise of romance and trust. The pacing is reflective, allowing space for the gravity of their experiences to sink in, which I appreciate. The three women don animal masks to revisit pivotal moments, creating a surreal atmosphere that contrasts starkly with the harsh realities they faced. The use of practical effects in their reenactments adds an interesting layer, invoking a sense of both nostalgia and trauma. It’s a distinctive take on activism and betrayal, making it a fascinating watch for those interested in social justice narratives.
