RIOTS REFRAMED takes the viewer through a journey that begins in Tottenham, London—where 29-year old Mark Duggan was shot dead by police in 2011—and spirals out to a broader and deeper look into the role of police, power, racism, government, prison, and resistance.

While providing an analysis of the Tottenham Riots, the scope of RIOTS REFRAMED is much wider and stands in its own right as a poetic but fierce challenge to the carceral system under which we live. The result is a radical social commentary grounded in knowledge and art, that synthesizes a number of voices—from prominent social, cultural and political analysts, to ex-prisoners still recovering from time inside.
