Plans to build a string of by-passes along the stretch of tarmac linking Bath with the south coast - known to some as the A36 corridor and to others as "death valley" - have provoked passionate and divisive feelings among the local communities. The former stagecoach route has been devastated by the thousands of cars and juggernauts that thunder along daily, but no one can agree what to do about them. Using testimonies of the people who live along the route, including writer Bel Mooney, this film documents the struggle over Solsbury Hill, an Iron Age fort and site of the proposed Batheaston by-pass, where protesters were dragged from the trees so that the bulldozers could do their work. Narrated by David Stafford.
