“Grief sells newspapers” - Hacked Off’s short documentary The Press and The People exposes press abuse at its most severe: reporters harassing, bullying and intruding on families at a time of unimaginable suffering, just to sell more newspapers. The shocking press abuse shown in the film echoes how papers treated victims of Grenfell and other tragic events. And It’s not the only way newspapers abuse the public. After Hillsborough, they opted to protect the powerful - constructing false narratives and blaming victims instead of those responsible. The screening will be followed by a discussion on these themes with activists and campaigners.
