The Red Room has launched an exciting new strand of work; the RRPlatform comprising a series of bi-monthly talks and presentations by leading artists, activists and cultural critics.
Our second RRPlatform presents INJUSTICE by Ken Fero and Tariq Mehmood. A controversial multi-award winning documentary film investigating the rising number of black people who have died in police custody.
Injustice is the story of the struggles for justice by the families of black people that have died at the hands of police officers. Between 1969 and 1999 over one thousand people died in police custody in England. Not one police officer has been convicted for any of these deaths. Injustice shows how a number of people met violent deaths at the hands of the police and shows how the families of the dead came together to fight for the truth.
"a rousing hymn to united struggle " Time Out - Critics' Choice
Injustice took seven years to produce. Since its release the police tried to censor the film by threatening legal action at cinemas and at the film makers who refused to stop screening the film and instead took it on a national tour. Injustice has been described as the most politically controversial UK film of recent years and has gained an international reputation screening at over 60 film festivals around the world. Despite this success UK television has banned the film.
“one of the most powerful films ever made in this country" The Guardian
"the film that refuses to die" The Observer
After the film there will be a post show Q + A with both the filmmakers and families of those who have lost family members in police custody, and will be chaired by Topher Campbell, Artistic Director of The Red Room.
This screening is presented to mark the 200th Anniversary of the abolition of the Slave Trade and is part of the Red Room’s ongoing mission to present work that challenges the status quo.
