RIP Seni (2021)

Overnight on 24th June 2020, graffiti reading 'RIP SENI' appeared on a public artwork outside Bethlem Royal Hospital, London. It referred to Seni Lewis, a 23-year-old black man from Croydon who died at the hands of police officers while in the care of the hospital in 2010. This film is a reaction to that event. Reflecting multiple perspectives, it explores what happened to Seni, the crisis of mental health and racism in the UK, the long fight for justice and what happens when members of the public take art into their own hands.
