A feature film documentary that has been five years in the making is finally being screened in Bristol this week. The movie explores the story in Bristol that shocked the world - of a community leader in his 60s who was Tasered in the face by the police in a case of mistaken identity.
The film, called ‘I Am Judah’, has suffered a series of delays either side of the Covid pandemic, but is being screened to a sold-out audience at The Cube cinema in Kingsdown on Wednesday evening. It tells the story of what happened to Judah Adunbi, who was 63, when he was stopped by police while walking his dog near his home in Easton, Bristol back in January 2017.
The police wrongly thought he was another man, a wanted criminal. Mr Adunbi told them they had the wrong man and tried to go home through his back gate, but police stopped him and Tasered him.
