"Culture Clash on the Front Line" Documentary video. Jamaicans in St Pauls, Bristol

Can you believe next year is the 30th Anniversary of the St. Paul's riots? For most of us it happened just before our time, but we hear about it in stories told by our elders.

Peep the documentary below. It lays down the story from historical facts and community experiences that reflect the complexities of race in Bristol, directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the brutal legacy of slavery and colonialism. Today, more than ever, it is essential to preserve and divulgate this heritage, so the peoples of Bristol, blacks and whites, can better comprehend their social surrounding, can kill frustrations and demagogies and in many cases can get inspired for change.

Watch all parts here (there's lots of parts but only last a couple mins each)
