This 2025 documentary, hosted by Guramati Singh and featuring Sarah Carter, founder of the Save Our Scampton campaign, uncovers the controversy surrounding the RAF Scampton airbase in Lincolnshire, England, a historic site tied to the Dambusters Raid of World War II. It details the community's fierce resistance against government plans to convert the former military base into an asylum seeker accommodation center for up to 2,000 migrants, highlighting fears of heritage loss, inadequate consultation, and societal impacts. Through interviews with residents, activists, and experts, the film documents protest camps, legal battles, and far-right involvement, while celebrating the eventual scrapping of the proposal in 2024 amid public outcry and policy shifts, portraying it as a victory for local sovereignty and cultural preservation.
