Now hearing from @thaliamaragh on #JointEnterprise & how we must CHALLENGE the narrative. Lawyers must confront the stereotypes in JE cases where the prosecution narrative relies solely on evidence association to establish guilt, such as gang association, music videos & tattoos.

#TheHardStop @BFI. Saw this a few years ago but wanted to revisit it now I’ve been working in #Tottenham for over a year. Really explores the experiences, and amplifies the voices, of young Black men who have grown up on the Broadwater Farm Estate. @TheHardStop #BlackLivesMatter

“(2011 was) kind of an outpouring of anger, and distrust. It represented something. People asked questions, reports happened, surveys. And off the back of that I think we have far more structured understandings” - @diverseworld

“It was a delight to be able to show these two people doing what I think is one of the things human beings find hardest, which is to change one’s self. The blueprint for [@TheHardStop] is to see these guys doing something courageous and somewhat inspiring.” – @georgebamponsah
The Hard Stop retweeted
“I felt there was something missing in terms of the media portrayals of Mark Duggan. If he was this gun toting, violent drug dealing thug, there’s something missing in the equation of why those disturbances happened” - @georgebamponsah

Here is the excellent online discussion with @kunleolulode @peterbradshaw1 & Injustice director @kenfero after its screening last week. Twenty years after its first premiere, the film is more relevant than ever, and casts attention back onto the UK.
