Our guest is filmmaker Yoav Segal, director of The Battle Of Cable Street.                In 1936, Oswald Mosley and his army of fascist Blackshirts planned                to march through the East End. However, Segal’s grandfather, Ubby                Cowan, and a host of others, including Jews, Irish, and dockworkers                succeeded in stopping the march. This was a seminal event in British                history as it loudly declared Britains refusal to accept fascism.                Blurring the line between live action and animation, The Battle Of Cable Street                retells the event by presenting a young boy, Danny, who is taken inside                the magical world of his own sketchbook by his grandfather and shown                what it was like to live                through the events of 1936.                Danny learns, much as his granddad did, ‘Look up, see the world around you. Find a voice, express yourself.’                The film screened recently at the 11th annual Rhode Island International Film Festival.
