Overview
Based upon the true story of a death in custody, Lament for Sheku Bayoh asks the urgent question, is Scotland really a safe place?
''No problem here pal. None at all.ʼ
In the early hours of the morning, thirty-one-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.
