A new documentary that highlights the misdemeanours of several serving British police officers will be publicly screened despite a ban by local authorities and the police themselves.
Injustice is a feature length film that documents the lives and deaths of a number of black people who died in police custody in recent years but none of the officers named in the film have ever been charged with a crime.
Hundreds of people barricaded themselves into London borough of Hackney's Conway Hall in July to watch the film despite threats of legal action from the police, and the nervous pleas of the hall's staff.
The police were called to the scene but, without a disturbance from the crowd, they wisely chose to keep their distance. Another screening will take place in Liverpool on Saturday and co-director Ken Fero insisted that he will get the film as much exposure as he can. "This film exposes fundamental abuses of human rights which have taken place. "We support the families' demands for these officers to be prosecuted for the manslaughter or murder of their loved ones."
