Standards Code

1. Truth
We will endeavour to present the truth of all occurrences we choose to cover.

2. Independence
We will endeavour to remain independent of control by the state or other bodies for which censorship is required. We will refuse to purchase state permits from 'gatekeepers' or carry any such permits for which censorship is a prerequisite.

3. Privacy
We will not collect footage, where we judge practicable and where requested prior to or immediately upon filming, that focuses on a private individual who has not to our knowledge engaged in coercive conduct.
We consider all state officials, employees or contractors (direct or indirect), whilst in those roles, to be subject to scrutiny in the public interest and will not request their consent to publish any footage of them.
 

4. Complaints
We will make our email (and when applicable address) publicly available for communication of complaints.
[The email is: info@freeseedfilms.com]
[This address is: Free Seed Films Ltd, GWC, 10-12 Mulberry Green, Harlow, CM17 0ET]
 

5. Responsibility
We will not sell footage which we believe to be of significant detriment to those we judge to be principled and moral individuals.
 

6. Unity.
We will, where practicable, provide witness testimony in court cases of principled individuals, where such testimony is deemed ethical by us, given the circumstances.
 

7. Safety
We will endeavour to protect each other, within our organisation, from external coercive force, such as by the state.
