The RaCE research network presents – Film Screening of The Uprising by Pravini Productions, Tuesday 22 October 2019, 5 - 7pm, Sunderland Minster.

Musician and activist Pravini Baboeram will also be attending to engage in a discussion with the audience after the screening.

The Uprising is based on the music album, written and produced by Pravini Baboeram. With  nine songs from the album, Pravini connects the struggle against blackface, the struggle for the recognition of colonial crimes committed by the Netherlands in Indonesia, the struggle for the liberation of Palestine and the struggle in the political field for an inclusive society.

The Uprising offers a unique view of the resistance movement against racism in Europe through the eyes of people of colour.

The documentary film first premiered in April 2019 in Amsterdam. Since then the film has been screened at educational institutions like University of California Los Angeles (Los Angeles) and UC Berkeley (Berkeley), cultural institutions such as Museum of African Diaspora (Smithsonian Affiliate, San Francisco) and Filmhuis Den Haag (The Hague).
