22 February 2007 - A special summit has taken place today in Downing Street on gun crime in the UK - Police chiefs, community representatives and politicians discussed the wave of gun crime sweeping across the UK - The Downing Street meeting called by the Prime Minister comes just days after the latest in a series of gun fatalities in London - The Prime Minister said that the roots of the problem go 'very deep' within some families and communities. But areas of otherwise peaceful, law-abiding citizens whose lives are blighted by the 'guns and gangs' culture need 'help and relief" - Ministers are seeking to bring forward tougher legislation in a bid to curb the gun law on British streets... A Mother Speaks: The strength of a mother's love is immeasurable. Imagine nurturing, caring, educating and supporting your child through their formative years, then suddenly, just as they are about to embark on their own independent lives, someone fires a gun, in an act of unprovoked violence, and they are taken from you. How far would you go to see true justice served? Junior's Story is a collaborative project created and performed by young people of Clapton Park and the surroundings.| 13 Jul 07 | Hackney Empire Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
