Description

Series of four short interviews (the final one may be a speech) with unidentified Broadwater Farm residents and their supporters, covering: 1: The need for a change in police attitudes, and the failure of the recent report to acknowledge this, and the raiding of homes and confiscation and non-return of personal property; 2: The feeling of violation and vulnerability engendered by home raids; 3: The lack of legal advice available to people held in custody and/or being questioned; 4: The confrontational and provocative attitude of police towards black youth.
