A new impactful documentary titled The UK Is Not Innocent is seeking London venues for screenings. This film, chronicling the 40-year history of the Finsbury Park charity INQUEST, includes the last ever recorded poem by the late poet Benjamin Zephaniah. The documentary had its premiere at Hackney’s Castle Cinema, attended by Zephaniah’s family.

Benjamin Zephaniah, who passed away in December from a brain tumour, revised his poem “One Minute’s Silence” to honour the victims featured in the film. The documentary delves into a four-decade span of what it describes as “violence by the state,” covering significant cases and systemic issues across racism, mental health, policing, prisons, and mass fatalities.
