INJUSTICE at The Library Theatre

Tuesday 18 October 8.15pm FREE SCREENING
Injustice (15)
Dir: Ken Fero, Tariq Mahmood, UK 2001 1hr 40mins

In 1969 David Oluwale became the first black person to die in police custody in Britain. Many others have died since then, yet none of the police officers involved have been convicted of these deaths.

This is a powerful account of the relentless struggles of the families who when met with a wall of official secrecy unite to demand justice. The film uses exclusive footage to document the fight to retrieve the bodies for burial, the mockery of police self-investigation and the collusion of the legal system in the deaths.

‘One of the most powerful films ever made in this country’ – The Guardian

The film will be followed by a discussion featuring filmmaker Ken Fero and representatives of the victims’ families including Tippa Naphtali, cousin of Mikey Powell, Janet Butler, mother of Lloyd Butler and Marci Rigg, sister of Sean Rigg
