Misan Harriman: Shoot the People + Q&A
classified 18 (CTBA)Misan Harriman has been called “the most talked about photographer of our times”. Although he's known for his portraits of A-list celebrities and royalty, his true passion is social justice and photographing protest movements around the world.
Misan Harriman: Shoot the People sees Harriman take that work to a new level on a journey across three continents. But, in a world more divided than ever, he is forced to question whether protest can actually influence social change and if his own work really makes a difference.
Harriman seeks answers around the world, from London to L.A., from South Africa, where his photographic hero helped defeat Apartheid, to the streets of Minneapolis where George Floyd was murdered.
Misan Harriman: Shoot the People is an observation of his own personal evolution, as he seeks insights from the likes of Martin Luther King III and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
Presented in partnership with Black South West Network.
Followed by a Q&A with Misan Harriman and the film's director Andy Mundy-Castle, hosted by hosted by Amanda Egbe (Senior Lecturer in Media Production, UWE).
