3rd November 2022: We're live on YouTube with legendary rock musician, Roger Waters. Roger Waters revolutionised progressive rock music as a founder-member and the creative force behind Pink Floyd and today continues to sell out the biggest venues across the world.
His arena tour of the US "This Is Not A Drill" kicks off in July 2022, described by Roger as “a groundbreaking new rock & roll/cinematic extravaganza...” which is a "stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect, and share our precious and precarious planet home."
It is also no exaggeration to describe Roger as a human rights warrior, who continues to champion the rights of marginalised peoples across the globe, from Ecuador to Palestine. Mark Seddon will be in conversation with Roger discussing Israel's ongoing assault on Palestinian children, as well as the latest news from the region.
We'll also be exploring what is being done to challenge Israel's apartheid and settler-colonialism around the world today, looking towards the growing student movement, the UK Labour Party conference hall, the ongoing occupation of Israeli weapons factories and towards the stands and players of elite football bearing the Palestinian flag. Tune in to hear all this and more, and to pitch your questions.
