Description

Footage of the demonstration to protest the murder of Ahmed Ullah at Burnage High School in Manchester. Initial shots outside Burnage High School with officials at the gate and then the demonstration passing by the school and then through the streets of Rusholme. There are many Asian school boys and men and many anti-racist banners and slogans shouted. There is a short rally at the end of the march with messages of solidarity. A woman speaks about the demonstration and how the media tried to hush it up and they've been able to prove through the demo that people care and are concerned. Some Asian boys speak about Ahmed, the incident that led to him losing his life and about the attacks they are subjected to.
