INJUSTICE: FILM SCREENING 10 DECEMBER MMU
5.00pm Tuesday 10th December 2013
Manchester - Lecture Theatre 3, Geoffrey Manton Building, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, M15 6LL
'one of the most powerful films ever made in this country' - The Guardian
Screening of 'Injustice', a multi-award winning and internationally renowned documentary by film-maker Ken Fero.
'Injustice' is a film about the struggles for justice by the families of those that have died in police custody.
Why did the police try to censor this film? Why have UK broadcasters such as the BBC and Channel 4, refused to screen it? These questions and more will be answered in what has been described as the most politically controversial film in recent years.
This film has been screened at the European Parliament, provoking debate, and in the UK the Attorney General was forced to announce a state review into the Crown Prosecution Service. The families of victims of police brutality are using the film as a powerful weapon to demand justice.
After the screening of 'Injustice', Director Ken Fero will be on hand to answer questions from the audience.
Please note this film screening is open to staff, students and members of the public. Entrance is free and will be on a first come first serve basis until the capacity of the lecture theatre is reached.
Hosted by the Department of Sociology at Manchester Metropolitan University, in collaboration with the Northern Police Monitoring Project.
