Injustice: The Film the Police Tried to Ban
My guest on a recent edition of my Success Strategies online radio show was Ken Fero, the director of Injustice.
You have probably heard of, or seen, Injustice, Fero's film about seven UK families that are still fighting for justice after a family member died in police custody. The police tried to ban this film - every time a cinema was scheduled to screen it, the police would phone them 15 minutes beforehand and tell them not to show it.
Go here for my interview with Ken Fero. In addition to Injustice, he talked about his new film, Ultraviolence.
