Shoot the People (12A)

— ,Cinemas

This thought provoking documentary follows one of the most widely-shared visual story tellers of this age, as he chronicles grassroots movements around the world. 

Questioning the notion of protest movements as a viable source of agency we are plunged into the world of grassroots activists fighting for equality, justice and social change. 

This documentary follows the renowned photographer and activist, Misan Harriman, probably most known for his powerful breakthrough images from the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and capturing the Palestinian liberation movement on film, Harriman also made history as the first Black man to photograph a British Vogue cover. 

With historical context, interviews with activists, and explorations of digital activism, the documentary reveals how Harriman's lens brings the world's activism to light, inspiring viewers to recognise their own power in shaping a more just society.
