About this event
Film-maker and activist Carolina Graterol is hosting Power to Change in her Garden Cinema in Muswell Hill, as part of her Summer series of screenings of independent documentaries, now in its fourth year.
Power to Change tells the stories of five people: EJ a young man drawn into gang culture from an early age; Lorraine a grieving Mother who lost her son to knife-crime as he saved another boy; Gerald, founder of Impact Brixton, who learns to navigate one of London’s most dangerous areas after emigrating from Ghana as a child; Errol a repeat offender with 74 previous convictions; and Nate a former gang-member who was brutally stabbed by a childhood friend. The stories are woven together by Kaysen, a teacher, who passionately believes in supporting young people. Adding a unique perspective to this mix we hear from peace educator Prem Rawat whose work in prisons in the UK and around the world has had a remarkable impact.
In a time where youth violence is on the rise across the country, and with the poverty gap only increasing, this is a unique film that looks at the simplest solution: the innate goodness of a human being, who will make the right choices given the encouragement and tools to do so. Sometimes all it takes is one person, one act, one choice, to change the trajectory of a lifetime.The screening is for a small group in an open air space with roof protection.
