EXCLUSIVE: British filmmaker Havana Marking was set to debut her latest project Undercover: Exposing The Far Right, an undercover documentary about far-right communities in the UK, this evening at the London Film Festival.

However, the doc will now world premiere on Channel 4on October 21 after the London Film Festival pulled the film from its lineup and informed the filmmakers that it will no longer screen the project due to what was described to us as safety concerns.

The doc, created in collaboration with the UK anti-racist organization Hope not Hate, was extended an invitation to world premiere at LFF in June.

Weeks later, on September 27, the filmmakers were contacted by London Film Festival organizers who told them they were considering pulling the film from the schedule.
