Akala Interview for Vlad TV
Description: U.K. artist Akala stopped by the Vlad Couch to discuss a plethora of topics surrounding the history of the impact of slavery throughout the world, Black culture, hip hop's influence across the world, and what it means to be mixed-race in today's society.
Akala starts the conversation discussing the difference between racism in America versus the United Kingdom. Then delves into police brutality and the gun laws in Britain. Then the rapper gives a brief history lesson on Britain's involvement in the slave trade, and how they've maintained a very "white" history. Akala explained there is nowhere in the U.K where there are only Black people. "You know if you go to the south side of the Chicago, or you go to certain parts of the Bronx, I've visited family up there, and literally everyone [was Black.]"
In breaking down the presence of hip-hop in the UK, Akala talks about his Black Shakespeare theory, and how he believes that centuries from now, someone like Nas or Lauryn Hill will be the Shakespeare of their time. He also explains why he feels Damian Marley out-rapped Nas on 'Distant Relatives,' after explaining why as a Black man he chooses not to use the N-word anymore.

Stop and Search
Description: Michael Jenkins (8th Sense Media) was commissioned by Avon and Somerset Constabulary to create a short film that looks at the impact stop and search can have on communities. This film will be used as a training tool for new recruits.
Statement from Director -
"The process of making the film was insightful. I met a lot of black men that had the same experiences as me, and sometimes even worse.
I also got stopped during the making of the film, which further highlights the problem. The fact that being black means I am more likely to have an encounter with the police - positive or negative - is what is at the core of this issue.
This film has helped to change my perception of the police, allowing me to view them as people working with a given structure with all the pitfalls that come with that.
It also showed me that individuals like Supt Mike Prior, Chief Insp Norman Pascal, the PCC and the Chief Officer Group are all working to make the police service more transparent and officers more accountable. This can only be a positive thing and a step in the right direction.”

Is Britain Racist? (BBC 3 documentary)
Description: "Racism has never been more socially unacceptable in Britain - three quarters of Britons claim they have no racial prejudice whatsoever. Journalist Mona Chalabi investigates whether these statistics provide an accurate picture.
To find out what is happening on Britain's streets, three reporters are sent undercover to test the public's prejudice. The results are surprising.
The programme looks into people's unconscious behaviour, discovering what British people really think about their neighbours of different races and religions. And Mona puts her own beliefs under the microscope, discovering some uncomfortable truths.
Finally, she asks a hugely significant question - can people be trained to lose their prejudice?"

Liverpool (A Legacy of British Imperial Slave Trade)
Description: Liverpool is one of England’s most renowned cities, for periods during its history the wealth of Liverpool exceeded that of London itself, and its Custom House was the single largest contributor to the British Exchequer. Toady tourists marvel at the monumental buildings, constructed on a heroic, even megalomaniacal scale which stands witness to the supreme confidence and ambition of the city. But where did all this wealth come from and how did a small fishing city become known as "the New York of Europe"? To find the answer to this question this documentary delves into the dark pages of history: a time when Liverpool was at the centre of a global slave trade, a time when men and women were uprooted and sold for the profit of others.

The Event: How Racist Are You? with Jane Elliott
Description: Are we all more racist than we realise or would like to admit?
For this Channel 4 documentary Jane Elliott, a controversial former schoolteacher from Ohio, is recreating the shocking exercise she used forty years ago to teach her nine year-old pupils about prejudice.
Elliott is asking thirty adult British volunteers - men and women of different ages and backgrounds - to experience inequality based on their eye colour to show how susceptible we can all be to bigotry, and what it feels like to be on the other side of arbitrary discrimination.
Does Elliott's exercise still have something to teach us four decades on and in a different country? Presented by Krishnan Guru-Murthy, the exercise is observed throughout by two expert psychologists, Prof Dominic Abrams and Dr Funké Baffour, who will be unpicking the behaviour on display.
First shown on Channel 4, Thursday 29 October 2009.
