The Frontline Club

The Frontline Club FRONTLINE CLUB | CHAMPIONING INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM Frontline Club is a gathering place for journalists, media & their friends.

Founded by Vaughan Smith from his 90s news agency “Frontline Television News”, it was created to support freelance journalism and champion the safety of those who did this as their life’s work. We are a members club, with a public restaurant on the ground floor with private dining and busy events space on the top floor with interesting weekly events that are open to anyone. The club’s very mission

is to champion independent journalism and stimulate public discussion of current affairs. As the foreign news industry’s watering hole, we are informal, edgy and relevant. Norfolk place our newly-refurbished public Restaurant (75 cover) delivers casual fine dining, using local meat and ethically sourced produce. Instead of chasing you down the street with a bucket, we fundraise by selling food and drink, event ticket sales & member bedroom hires & of course by the recruitment of membership that enrich our ever growing community, that as we say in the Club, helps us keep fighting the good fight!

In the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, all united by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and ‘Western imperialism’. Their audacious attacks brought governments to their knees and glued nations to their TV screens.

Drawing on decades of research, declassified and secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. In this underground realm of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to radical change at any cost, he reveals the dark origins of our fractured world today.

***SOLD OUT*** Tonight Tuesday 21st July 2026 Screening PLUS TALK Manosphere as we welcome back Louis Theroux!
Louis investigates a growing ultra-masculine network and its controversial influence.

Louis immerses himself in the online communities, influencers, and belief systems that make up the modern “manosphere” a complex and often controversial digital ecosystem shaping contemporary ideas around masculinity, power, and identity.

With his trademark curiosity and calm interrogation, Louis engages directly with figures at the heart of the movement to understand why these spaces have gained such influence and what they reveal about the world we live in today.

For 18 months, civilians in Sudan’s el-Fasher were trapped under siege as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces surrounded the western city, cutting off food and escape routes. When the city fell in October, thousands were killed as people tried to flee.

“No Exit from El Fasher” is an intimate look at the survival of civilians who lived through the siege. The documentary follows the stories of three survivors who fled to Uganda.

Join the filmmakers and Sudan experts for a screening and panel discussion on the international response to El Fasher, the role of proxy actors, and accountability for those backing the conflict, including the UAE.

Through powerful first-hand testimony, former detainees recount beatings, starvation, sexual violence, medical neglect and psychological abuse.
The film follows the stories of Mohammad Ibrahim, a Palestinian-American arrested at the age of 15 for throwing stones, and a former detainee from Gaza whose harrowing testimony details extreme sexual violence. Their accounts reveal the human cost of a detention system that rights groups and former prisoners say operates with impunity.
Filmed across Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Tel Aviv, Florida and London, the documentary examines allegations that these practices are carried out under the authority of Israeli officials, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
