Event Details

Rebellion Film Screening: SELF DEFENCE IS NO OFFENCE

Join us for a screening of Rebellion, a film which looks at the landmark struggle of the Bradford 12.

In 1981, twelve young Asian men were arrested after preparing to defend their community against an anticipated far-right attack, sparking a major campaign for their freedom. Drawing on remarkable archive footage, first-hand testimony and a collectively staged reconstruction of the trial, Rebellion captures how a community organised in the face of racist violence and fought back.

"For me, this film is personal. It has taken me 40 years to tell it, and it is a story of the wounds of my own life, in the scars of my generation, and in the courage of those who stood with us." — Tariq Mehmood, Co-director

Director: Ken Fero, Tariq Mehmood Running time: 80 mins Year: 2026 Country: UK Language: English
