‘No Justice, No Peace’ at Lloyds Banking Group as a part of the Black History Month

Last week Tuesday I screened my documentary ‘No Justice, No Peace’ at Lloyds Banking Group as a part of the Black History Month (BHM). It was a great privilege to take part in BHM for the Bank and talk about the film and answer questions. I felt relaxed to talk openly about my my personal experiences, so thank you to all the people who joined the event.

I want to personally thank Yvonne Robinson Co-Chair of BOLD, the BOLD Team, Belinda Asante and Susan Levy who are doing a tremendous work, they should be proud! Thank you Chris Dunn for facilitating the session you’re a natural. The feedback and comments I have received has been positive and insightful. 

“Just been on the BHM event with your husband. He's awesome! Such a talented film maker and so engaging to listen to. You must be so proud of him. I remember you telling me about your son previously but hearing your husband talk about it again just made me shudder at the thought of what could have happened. I can't imagine what you've all been through. I hope he's on the road to recovery and can feel.”

“Well I think that was the best BHM event i've attended this month. Impactful, emotional and incredibly candid. Stephen was absolutely amazing and it was so interesting to hear his insight first hand. The shares about your son, I can't even begin to imagine what receiving that call must've been like and the impact that's had on you all. Sending so many well wishes your way and always here if you ever want to chat.”

THE SYNOPSIS 

Lenny Campbell, late teens, mugs a youth in an alleyway, somewhere in East London. James Haze, mid 30s, finds himself face to face with a man in a hoody. They stop and stare at each other, likened to a Mexican standoff. Lenny removes his hood, politely asking James for some change, who instead offers Lenny a sandwich and a hot drink. 

Both men sit at a table in a café. James notices a large crucifix wrapped around Lenny’s neck. A spiritual conversation arises followed by an emotional response from Lenny who is left bewildered and walks off feeling spiritually challenged. 

While all of this is taking place, Lenny is unaware that he is being watched by Tony, an aggressive gangster type who asks him to meet at a local abandoned warehouse. To Lenny’s horror, he finds himself in a terrible dilemma, orchestrated by Tony and the girls that has left him feeling numb. 

Later that day, Lenny proceeds listlessly towards a church where his late mother use to take him to ponder the day’s events.
