Summaries

  • Dive into the heart of the 2011 London uprisings with our compelling documentary, a profound exploration of a pivotal moment in British history. Sparked by the controversial and unproven claims surrounding the police killing of Mike Duggan, this film delves deep into the ensuing chaos that engulfed London and other cities, revealing a society on the brink. Witness the widespread unrest and the harsh reality of thousands of young individuals hastily judged and incarcerated, highlighting a systemic failure to address the core issues of policing and government accountability. Set against the backdrop of a nation grappling with deep-seated inequalities, this documentary serves as a poignant precursor to the global Black Lives Matter movement, shedding light on the persistent challenges faced by BAME communities in Britain. "An early warning signal, totally ignored" - this film not only captures the events of 2011 but also serves as a critical reflection on the missed opportunities for meaningful reform and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. Join us on this eye-opening journey into the past, to better understand the present and inspire change for the future.
