Paa Joe & the Lion - A Tribute to Benjamin Zephaniah

Late last year, we lost the brilliant British poet Benjamin Zephaniah – this summer, Nottingham Poetry Festival is paying tribute to him, with a series of films by local filmmaker Ben Wigley featuring poetry by Benjamin Zephaniah, including Paa Joe & the Lion, PS Your Mystery Sender, and In this World, which features Zephaniah as he looks at the state of the world at a moment in time.

Local poets will pay tribute to Zephaniah and the films will be followed by a Q&A with director Ben Wigley and producer Anna Griffin, about their experience collaborating with the poet. Proceeds from ticket sales from this event will go towards supporting the brainstrust charity.
