Shotlist: Filmmaker's synopsis:

“You cannot expect to defeat the absurdity of the life, but you must make attempt” - quoting Phil Ochs’s phrase, Sally Beaumont talks about her non-violent peace activities against nuclear weapons. She was arrested four times at Faslane, Scotland, for breach of the peace. She recalls her experience of being put in a police cell in a rather humorous manner.

The interview was carried out in July 2015.
