Today we feature a film by our friends at You and I Films, entitled – Licence to Spill.

This film made by Felix Gonzales, witnesses an extraordinary protest to “Liberate the Tate” from its toxic partnership with Oil giant BP.

This is not a film for the Socially Squeamish! But it certainly is ART! If you like your gallery openings quiet and boring, then this film’s not for you!
