Riot From Wrong

Riot from Wrong is a unique documentary film, made by a group of 14 young people from north London, which sheds light on one of the most important recent events in British history: the 2011 urban riots. The film screening will be followed by a discussion involving the film-makers, Fully Focused.

Teddy Nygh is co-founder of Fully Focused, a youth-led, non-profit UK media organisation.

Tim Newburn (@TimNewburn) is Professor of Criminology and Social Policy at LSE.

This event is part of Resist: Festival of Ideas and Actions, a campus-wide 3-day festival taking place at LSE from Wednesday 28 to Friday 30 September 2016 hosted by the Department of Sociology at LSE. Through a vibrant array of events including public discussions, film screenings, workshops, soapbox debates and art exhibitions, the festival aims to draw a wide audience into the distinct ways in which the theme of resistance has been interpreted and understood within academic research, the arts, grassroots activism campaigns, student debate and mainstream politics. For more information on the festival visit Resist: Festival of Ideas and Actions, the facebook page and follow the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag #LSEresist.
