King of the Beats Boomtown 2022 interview  (Lee Plump DJs, Martin Krafty Kuts,  Aston Freestylers)

I caught up with Lee Lawrence after the screening at the cube of 'I am Judah', where he sat on the Q&A panel after the film.

Lee has recently released 'The Louder I sing' - a memoir about his life and how it has been shaped by the actions of the metropolitan police when they shot his mother, Cherry Groce, in front of him at their home when he was just 11. This sparked the 1985 brixton uprising.

He's dedicated his life to fighting for justice. He now trains the police on issues around race, and sits on the board for 'The World Reimagined' - a nationwide art project.

Lee Lawrence, and the long fight for justice after his mother, Cherry Groce, was shot by the police
