CINECITY: Misan Harriman: Shoot the People (with Q&A)
Dir: Andy Mundy-Castle, UK 2025

“Extraordinarily moving, this film will embolden you” Guy Pearce

“An arresting portrait, essential viewing” Stuart Brown, BFI

“This is a masterpiece” Josie Naughton, Choose Love CEO

Following his debut 'White Nanny, Black Child', director Andy Mundy-Castle turns the camera on Oscar-nominated British-Nigerian photographer and activist Misan Harriman, who became the first Black man to shoot a cover of British Vogue in 2021 and has captured modern icons such as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Rihanna, Stormzy, Cate Blanchett, and Tom Cruise.

In 'Shoot the People', Harriman examines how protest and organised movements can lead to social change, all while capturing the resilience of activism through his lens.

Followed by Q&A with director Andy Mundy-Castle and producer Adam Gee.
