Unlawful Killing: Artistic Voices Part 1 | Series 3 Episode 3
Campaigning work often takes many forms, and using the arts to protest can be just as effective as any other means. In this episode, Lucy speaks to Lee Jarman and Sarah Kadri, who are part of LUNG Theatre — a campaign-led charity which works with communities and bereaved families to develop verbatim productions as a vehicle to campaign for change. Lee’s brother Kevin died a self-inflicted death the day after he was put on an indeterminate IPP jail sentence at HMP Woodhill in 2013. Lee and Sarah speak about LUNG’s powerful movement piece on the people who have died at Woodhill and the significance of verbatim theatre in bringing protesting families together as well as reaching new audiences.Find out more about LUNG theatre (https://www.lungtheatre.co.uk/) Hosted on Acast.

Unlawful Killing: Legacy Part 2 | Series 3 Episode 2
The Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 is a scandalous stain on British history. The fire claimed 72 lives but despite the relentless battle families and campaigners have faced, no one has yet been brought to justice. However, this hasn’t stopped survivors and bereaved families fighting to make sure the legacy of Grenfell’s victims lives on. Lucy and Lee talk to Sandra Ruiz from the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission. Sandra speaks about the importance of collective community action and how that has helped relatives and survivors take ownership of the decision-making process in the ways Grenfell is memorialised, including the more organic methods of remembering those who died.Find out more about the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission (https://www.grenfelltowermemorial.co.uk/) Hosted on Acast.
