Injustice, a controversial multi-award winning documentary film investigating the rising number of black people who have died in police custody, will be screened on Wednesday 7th February at 7:30pm at Rich Mix, East London. This screening marks 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.

The film tells the remarkable story of a group of women who came together to achieve justice for their loved ones. In 1969 David Oluwale became the first black person to die in police custody in Britain, by 1999 this figure had reached beyond one thousand, (this figure does not include those who have died in prisons and mental institutions or immigration detention centres). Not one police officer has been convicted for any of these deaths.

This is a film by Ken Fero and Tariq Mehmood with Q + A,
