  • When
  • December 7, 2014
    10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. (EST)
  • Where
  • Missouri History Museum, 5700 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63112
  • In partnership with
  • Fully Focused Productions

Join us for the U.S. premiere of Riot from Wrong, an award-winning documentary about the 2011 London riots triggered by the police shooting of a young man of color. The film, which explores how youth activists and the police coped with the aftermath, resonates with the events unfolding in Ferguson, Missouri, today.

Riot from Wrong chronicles the shooting death of 29-year-old Mark Duggan by police in North Tottenham, London, in the summer of 2011. Duggan was of mixed race, and his death sparked peaceful protest and civil unrest among community members, which spread across London.

After the film, join us for a panel discussion with youth activists and community leaders who will consider the root causes of civil unrest, including racial profiling, and possible solutions to youth exclusion and racial tensions at home and abroad. 

The event is free and open to the public.

Speakers

  • Alex Detrick, director, CEE Community Partnerships, Missouri History Museum
