Description

Director George Amponsah Attending

The police killing of Mark Duggan in London, 2011, ignited the worst civil unrest in recent British history and made headlines around the globe. Filmed over the course of 24 months, while the judicial inquiry into Duggan's killing plays out, The Hard Stop provides unprecedented access to Duggan's neighborhood and follows his closest friends Marcus and Kurtis as they fight for justice while struggling against discrimination. George Amponsah's timely documentary offers an urgent, international perspective on issues surrounding race, policing, and justice.
