In the early hours of the morning, 31 year-old Sheku Bayoh set out to walk home from his friend's place after watching a boxing match. Just hours later, he had lost his life in police custody. Lament for Sheku Bayoh is a poetic expression of grief for the human behind the headlines and a non-apologetic reflection on racism in Scotland today.
