Polemic


30 minutes | United Kingdom | 2023


SYNOPSIS:

Bertrand Russell once asked "Why is propaganda so much more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir up friendly feelings?"

Andy Hamm, "the Voice of London," broadcasts his daily diatribe against immigrants, criminals and terrorists. His world view is simple - you're either a patriot or you're the enemy. Tariq Solomon, a teacher, who has returned from incarceration, finds a city full of paranoia and hate.

This film is being disseminated privately to several rights organisations and human rights advocates in TV, Film and Music, to help bring awareness to the UN's UDHR charter - "the recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world."

Based on excerpts sent to the poet Benjamin Zepheniah, he called this "A Film We Need."
