Jean 'Binta' Breeze - Live
From: chairmanohtv
Jean 'Binta' Breeze was a popular Jamaican Dub poet and storyteller whose performances are so powerful she has been called a 'one-woman festival'. Pamela Robertson-Pearce filmed two performances by her at the Y Theatre, Leicester, in March and October 2010 which are included on THIRD WORLD GIRL: SELECTED POEMS, a book with DVD published by Bloodaxe Books in June 2011 (together with an interview by Jane Dowson). In this extract from the March reading, Jean reads three poems: 'simple things', 'ordinary mawning' and 'Aid Travels with a Bomb'. With thanks to Bloodaxe Books for permission to include Jean's poems in this video, and to Lydia Towsey of the Lyric Lounge for organising the readings at the Y.

Jean 'Binta' Breeze performs poetry at London Liming, 14 ...
Description: Tilt were delighted to welcome world-renowned poet JEAN 'BINTA' BREEZE to England for this special Love themed London Liming. Jean has performed her poetry worldwide and wherever she performs and reads, her words carry powerful political and personal messages, and are inspiring and enthralling. This year she received an MBE for services to literature and her intros refer to her response and her new sense of England now that she's based in Jamaica. As it was Valentines Day, Breeze read a few love poems also which we hope you enjoy. You can find out more about Jean Breeze at www.renaissanceone.co.uk

Talking to Black Lives Matter UK Supporters
Description: Sam Sholli asked Black Lives Matter UK activists a few questions at their #ShutDown event in London on 05/08/2016.
N.B. The 2,000 deaths in police custody over the last 10 years figure cited by one of the Black Lives Matter supporters in the video appears highly inflated.
According to figures from Inquest, since 1990 in England and Wales there have been 1563 deaths in police custody or otherwise following contact with the police. Around 10% were from BAME backgrounds.
The IPCC has also reported 238 deaths in or following police custody from 2004/05 to 2015/16.
