Subject: Revisiting the Riots - Riots Reframed film screening
******PLEASE CIRCULATE TO INTERESTED PARTIES*************
Revisiting the Riots
Three years have passed since the 'riots' that shook England following the shooting of Mark Duggan at the hands of the Metropolitan police. But as Ferguson burns across the Atlantic following the shooting of Michael Brown and yet another inquiry exposes the endemic corruption within the Metropolitan Police force here in the UK, it is perhaps an appropriate moment to revisit the legacy of the 2011 UK riots.
The Sociology Department at the University of Manchester, in association with the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre and the Race, Ethnicity and Postcolonial Studies (REPS) network is delighted to invite you to a screening of Fahim Alam's documentary, Riots Reframed. (http://riotsreframed.com/)
The film pieces together the stories of those involved, whose voices all but disappeared amongst the moral panic in the media and amongst politicians and policy makers in the immediate aftermath of the uprisings. Furthermore, the film also looks at the experiences of those who experienced the sharp end of the UK 'justice' system afterwards.
Following the film there will be a panel discussion
