Over the past few weeks, we have witnessed the liberal facade of the cops fall as repression against pro-Palestine activists has spiked. The police brutality at Govan subway station led to the unjust arrest of a dozen people and the hospitalisation of at least four individuals. So far this has been the most brutal repression by Scottish police in years. As contradictions sharpen, it is key that we learn from and develop the work of those revolutionaries who have faced the most severe pig attacks. That is why for our upcoming screening, we are switching it up and presenting an anti-colonial struggle from within the belly of the beast.

The Black Panther Party, the revolutionary vanguard of colonised and oppressed people within the US, serve as an inspiration to us. Their deep love of the people, creative application of revolutionary theory and resistance is a lesson for all of us to learn from. Be it their police patrols, to their free breakfast programme, the Panthers were always striving to serve the people!

Join us on Thursday, the 1st of August between 6-9pm at the @listengallery where we will be returning to our classic format of a short and feature film. This will be followed by a meal and group discussion. Free tickets are available on Eventbrite; use the link in our bio to get yours. As always, if you have the means, please do leave a donation to the venue.

⚠️ Please be aware that both films deal with the topics of police violence and police brutality. The feature in particular depicts bodily harm, blood, and a covered corpse.
