Writer and Director Hannah Lavery leads an artistic yet grief-filled response to the 2015 death in Scottish police custody of Sheku Bayoh.
ʻNo problem here pal. None at all.ʼ

In the early hours of the morning, 31 year-old Sheku Bayoh set out to walk home from his friend’s place after watching a boxing match. Just hours later, he had lost his life in police custody. Lament for Sheku Bayoh is a poetic expression of grief for the human behind the headlines and a non-apologetic reflection on racism in Scotland today.

Lament for Sheku Bayoh inspires activities for schools as part of our year-round commitment to communities across Scotland.

Contains strong language and descriptions of brutality and racial violence.
