In the light of #BlackLivesMatter, Citz Storytellers discuss stop and search law – particularly after protests following the killing of George Floyd, and in support of Black Lives Matter. We talk about our experiences, and your rights, using our critical background in Theatre of the Oppressed to explore changes we want to see in this policy.
Part of the It Is What It Is pilot podcast series.
