Independent Candidate is an observational documentary following Fiona Lali’s and her Revolutionary Communist Party’s (RCP) 2024 parliamentary campaign in Stratford & Bow, East London. The film sets out to capture the everyday reality of grassroots politics and the determined energy of RCP’s activists. They are running to win, but the film’s focus is the campaign more than the result, as Fiona and her comrades organise to bring their vision of radical change directly to the people.

Directed by Teilo Vellacott / 40 mins // 2025 // Actual Fact & Alborada Films

The film starts at 2pm and will be followed by a post-screening with Fiona Lali and Teilo Vellacott, the film's director. Between 1pm and 2pm there will be a short film introduced by its director (TBC).
