>Abstract:
><p>
>Last Tuesday (10 July), Indymedia Birmingham, in conjunction with the 
<a
>href="http://www.mikeypowell-campaign.org.uk">Mikey Powell 
Campaign</a>,
><a href="/en/regions/birmingham/2007/07/375370.html">screened</a> <a
>href="http://www.injusticefilm.co.uk">Injustice</a>, a powerful film 
about
><a href="/en/2006/12/357852.html">deaths in police custody</a> and 
the the
>victims' families' struggles for justice. The screening, which was 
held at
>the Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham, was preceded and followed 
by
>talks by Tippa Naphtali, a cousin of Mikey Powell, who <a
>href="http://www.mikeypowell-campaign.org.uk/mikeyscase/4521048062"
>died
>at the hands of police</a> in Handsworth, Birmingham, in 2003.</p>
><p>
>The film was preceded by a short interview with Romana Africa, the 
sole
>adult survivor of the FBI's bombing of the MOVE organisation's home 
in
>Philadelphia in 1985. The only justice, she stressed, is to bring 
down the
>"vicious, rotten system" that caused and continues to cause such
>injustices. Last month Indymedia Birmingham had shown a new 
documentary
>about <a href="http://www.onamove.com">MOVE</a> at the Drum to 
galvanise
>support for the <a href="http://www.onamove.com/move9">MOVE 9</a> and 
<a
