The right to protest has been withdrawn during Covid so it is topical that BMUC presenter Nick Franklin recently interviewed activist Stephen Langford on Rights, Rorts and Rants.  Stephen was arrested for sticking a pamphlet on a Governor Macquarie statue in Sydney and spent a "horrendous" couple of nights locked up for it.  Stephen doggedly protests every Friday at Sydney Town Hall  as a constant reminder of the imprisonment of refugees.  
Stephen shared his recommendation of a recently released documentary called White Riot directed by Rubika Shah  about Rock Against Racism, a movement that began in 1976 to take on the National Front.
