We are delighted to welcome Jeremy Corbyn to the Festival for a very special session on the global arms trade. Join Jeremy Corbyn, Founder of the Peace and Justice Project, which aims to bring people together for social and economic justice, peace and human rights.

We are seeing injustices caused by war and occupation unfold in real-time via social media, and we are speaking out in our millions against these horrors. Yet, from Gaza to Ukraine, the bombs continue to fall. We must understand why this is happening if we are to end it.

Monstrous Anger of the Guns lays bare the dark and deceitful world of the global arms trade, which, often funded in our name, is a business that counts its profits in billions and its losses in human lives. Leading activists and campaigners connect the dots, showing how notions of citizenship, democracy and trust in governments are misguided, and how we can fight back by building mass movements, using direct action and legal justice to end the flow of weapons and the environmental and human devastation they bring.

In this session, Jeremy Corbyn, Founder of the Peace and Justice Project, exposes the ‘market of death’ and tells the stories of a diverse range of inspiring campaigns from around the world opposing militarism and the arms trade that feeds it.
