Police State of Mind by Christian Watson. Filmed with infinite patience by Charlotte Lambert-Gorwyn.

Again I'm messing with iMovie. Never again will I attempt stop motion. This video was fully an experiment that took far longer than I expected, but it taught me a lot about the tools I am using.

The poem is dedicated to all victims of state brutality world wide and was written in response to the deaths of Charles de Menezes and Ian Tomlinson in england, as well as being beaten and maced by police myself for doing no more than going home after a poetry night(there were no formal charges made but at least i got this poem out of it).

I write and perform poetry because I have no choice. I make films because it's good to learn new skills. This is the second film I have ever made. For booking details contact lurchingadams25@hotmail.com. I occasionally update my blog at no1fake.blogspot.com and there is quite a bit of writing on there to date.
