This is the TRAILER for a documentary by award winning filmmakers Bill Maloney & Lilly Starr.
The feature length documentary is available on DVD for £9.99 (inc p&p) directly from Pie and Mash Films secure online shop: http://www.pienmashfilms.com/userimages/procart5.htm
All proceeds are split with the campaigners http://forwardeveruk.org to help them move forward with their courageous campaigns. Pie and Mash Films plough their funds straight back into further films and documentaries focusing on institutional child abuse and the erosion of civil liberties.

On the 7th September 2003, Michael Lloyd Powell (also known as Mikey) was run over, restrained
beaten and CS gassed by Police Officers, from the West Midlands Police Force.

After the abuse Mikey suffered he was declared dead at the Police station. His Family has had to
wait for six years to hear the verdict from the Coroner at Mikey's Inquest. The verdict was 'Positional Asphyxia' due to Police restraints.

Mikey's case is just one of many.

In the feature documentary, available on DVD, filmmakers Bill Maloney and Lilly Starr visited Mikey Powell's Remembrance Day, at the Highfields Community Centre in Leicester.

4WARDEVERUK- the organisation that leads the charge against unlawful deaths in Police custody,
asked the filmmakers if they would document the day.

Bill Maloney's reply to this request was as follows:
"There has to be a time of coming together, for all victims and their families around the world so that
we can fight against these outrageous crimes. Not for revenge, but for peace & justice. I'd be
honoured to make a film for 4wardeverUK. God bless all victims & survivors"

  • pnmfilms has decided to put the FULL documentary up for free viewing. See '4Ward Forever The Heroes FULL DOCUMENTARY' on the Video responses above. This is dedicated to all those who have been killed unlawfully in UK custody and to their loved-ones who still grieve and seek justice.

  • TODAY - An outrageous cover up by the UK CPS. More than a 1000 unlawful deaths in UK police custody have NEVER been brought to justice. Help the victims' families by joining the 'United Families and Friends Campaign' UFFC Campaign Central and help put an end to deaths in police custody. We now await the IPPC's report into the death of Ian Tomlinson - our hearts and support are with the family.

  • Its been going on for years

  • YES! YES! YES!

    We have to speak for ourselves and act in our own best interests.

    I once read, this needs to be vetted, that when a person appears in court with a lawyer; it is tantamount to saying that one is mentally incompetent to speak for themselves.

  • This may be a stupid question... What do those from 4Ward and others who campaign for justice for those injured and killed whilst in police custody think needs to change?

    There is no question that people suffer injury or death at the hands of law enforcement around the world yet in some of the cases stated the person fights the officers, the force used escalates and injury is caused. Should police officers allow people who fight them to go rather than risk killing them?

  • thats like a murderer delaying his crime,.

  • i was in a hospital the other night and was told by staff not to speak to the person in the bed next to my wife's? He was trying to talk too anyone and sounded like he needed help even if it was just someone to talk to. That's policy?

  • Well done Pie n Mash. Keep up the good work

  • We love it you guys. This will be a valuable tool in our support for families affected by deaths and abuses in custody in the UK and abroad.

    Peace, Zinzi (4WardEver UK Volunteer)

  • I must add another Personal sentiment to Michael Powell (Mickey) Who was Murdered out side his mothers house in New Town, Birmingham..Minutes away from my old home !..Blessed be the martyrs and Saints,Peace and Blessings to the Righteous Only !...
