Join us for a special screening of After Eight: The Story of Satpal Ram, a powerful documentary by Mos Hannan and Usayd Younis that explores one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in modern British history.

After Eight tells the story of Satpal Ram, a British Asian man whose wrongful imprisonment sparked an international campaign for justice. Through archival footage, personal testimonies, and community activism, the film uncovers the story behind a landmark legal case and the global movement that fought for his freedom.

The screening offers a compelling opportunity to reflect on issues of racial justice, legal inequality, community organising, and British social history.
