Event overview
'Ultraviolence' screening, Q&A on police violence With Ken Fero, director, and Samantha Patterson (sister, Jason McPherson), People's Tribunal on Police Killings
'Ultraviolence' screening and Q&A with the director and affected families on police violence
Please join us for a screening of the documentary, 'Ultraviolence' , and a Q&A on police violence.
The struggles for justice by the families of people that have died in police custody.
The silence over the police killings of Black people is now broken. Since 1969, over two thousand people have died at the hands of the police in the UK. Shootings, chokeholds, batons, gassing, suffocation, restraint and brutal beatings are some of the methods used. The number of deaths is escalating. Inevitably police officers involved are not convicted for these killings. In this documentary, the families of the victims of police violence demand justice.
They ask why society ignores human rights abuses by agents of the state. This reflection on resistance is poignant and political, capturing the brutality and trauma and the unrelenting fightback of those who will not be silent about state violence.
The Q&A panel includes Ken Fero, director, and Samantha Patterson (sister of Jason McPherson), part of the investigation team for the People's Tribunal on Police Killings (Instagram: @thepeoplestribunal)
The film is certified as 15 and contains images of death which some viewers may find disturbing.
