London’s Knife Crime Emergency: ON A KNIFE EDGE
Description: In the wake of multiple knife-related murders in the UK's capital, activist and ex-gang member Josh Osbourne takes an in-depth look at the "code of silence". This is an entrenched mindset that regularly stops young people from going to the authorities, in fear of being labelled a "snitch".
Britain's most senior police officer attributes the recent spate of murders to austerity, drug markets, police cuts and social media, yet despite a controversial crack-down targeting drill music videos, the number of deaths keep rising.
Josh follows the grieving families struggling to find justice and answers in their own communities. He speaks to an active gang member about how reputation is a fiercely protected social capital and shame can be a gateway to violence. He learns that surviving a knife attack is no longer seen as a close call, but a badge of honour, and how the consequences of knife crime stretch beyond simply life and death. The film explores how the internet has profoundly altered the way conflicts are instigated and unravel on London's streets, and how the communities affected are reacting to this.
As London remains in the throes of a knife crime epidemic, VICE takes a look at one of the most important domestic issues of our time.

Gangs, Drill & Prayer - Full documentary
Description: How young Christians are using rap & drill music to lure gang members away from streets & towards God
We join Enrique on his extraordinary journey from south London gangster rapper, to Pastor at just 21 years old.
We meet the artists whose music is reaching out to youths & inspiring change. Artists like Hope Dealers, who spit holy bars over the hardest of beats, drill.
These movements, however, do not come without controversy; wearing balaclavas in church, accusations of being a cult & the large sums of money involved, have prompted some to question their holy intentions.

Gold, Silver & Slaves (Britain's Slave Trade Documentary
Description: Gold, Silver & Slaves looks at how the business of slavery was a case of slave-trading by complicit Africans, fuelled by the greed of African kings.
This is the untold story of the greatest slaving nation in history. Up till now, Britain’s place in the history of slavery has been as the country that abolished the international slave trade.
Britain’s Slave Trade reveals the shameful truth behind this liberal facade, showing how the economic, social and cultural life of Britain would have been unrecognisable without slavery. Britain’s Slave Trade explains how a middling European power transformed itself into the ruler of the waves, tracing the impact this had on the British way of life and taking in the Industrial Revolution, the beginnings of Empire and the birth of modern racism along the way. It also unearths startling evidence showing how many families that think of themselves as ‘pure’ English stock are in fact descended from slave ancestors.

Duke Vin interview [Part 2] [UNCUT]
Description: Second part of this two-parter with the UK’s original sound system man, in which he describes his relationship with Count Suckle, a rivalry that continued to provoke animosity, and, on the other hand, the philosophy that helped him cope with racism and bigotry in his early days in England (“good times...tough times”). “Fools do not know they are fools”, he observes, and clearly he does not suffer them gladly. Finally, in bonus B-roll footage (trigger warning: not for those susceptible to motion sickness) we visit the inner sanctum where his vast collection of 45s is stored in..7” pizza boxes, the Duke spins a few tunes, and we meet the delightful Mrs. Vin.

Title:
Duke Vin interview [Part 1] [UNCUT]
Description: “When I came here the people were backward, they didn’t know anything. Seriously—I’m telling you”. It was England in the mid 1950s and what they didn’t know about (among other things) was the great Jamaican sound system tradition. As Vin tells it in this 2009 interview, it was his chance encounter with a 10” speaker box in Portobello Road that was to change all that, and thus permanently alter the UK’s musical landscape. The former selector for Jamaican sound system giant Tom the Great Sebastian came to dominate the sound clashes – or “competitions” – as he prefers. He recalls with particular relish the 1957 Lambeth Town Hall showdown with long time rival Count Suckle. His secret? “I play for the people”

The Story of the Turban
Description: This documentary traces the history of the turban in the Sikh religion, from its roots in India, through the battlefields of Europe, to the fight for British Sikhs to wear it without fear. It reveals that the turban is a crucial symbol of the Sikh faith - one that Sikhs will even risk their lives for
In September 2011, Sikhs from all over Britain gathered in Parliament Square to protest. The focus of their concern was the turban. Since the terrorist attacks of the 21st century Sikhs believe their turbans have singled them out for discrimination. In a case of mistaken identity the Sikhs claim they've been wrongly regarded as religious terrorists and subjected to increased airport security searches.
