'Riots Reframed' Film Screening and Panel Discussion with Fahim Alam (Director)

The Cambridge screening of the powerful independent documentary film 'Riots Reframed' will be held on 8th May.

This film seeks to reframe London's 2011 riots through voices of resistance. The feature-length film takes the viewer through a journey that begins in Tottenham and spirals out to address issues of racism, police, power, government, prison, war and resistance. The film is a radical social commentary and oral history, which synthesises a number of voices, from prominent social, cultural and political analysts, to prisoners still recovering from time inside.

'Riots Reframed' was produced and directed by Fahim Alam, an Oxford law graduate raised in Hackney, who was falsely arrested, imprisoned and tagged for 'violent disorder' during the 2011 riots. The screening will be followed by an audience-led discussion with Fahim Alam, amongst other panellists (details of which will be revealed closer to the time).

Thursday 8th May 2014, New Divinity School, St John's College, Cambridge
Refreshments: 6.30pm
Screening: 7pm 
Panel Discussion: 8.30pm
