‘Who Killed Colin Roach?’ és el primer metratge d’Isaac Julien, en què reflexiona sobre la mort de Colin Roach, un jove de 23 anys que va ser abatut d’un tret a la comissaria de Newington, al nord de Londres, l’any 1982. Si bé la policia va afirmar que Roach s’havia suïcidat, les proves van demostrar el contrari. El 2018, mentre produïa Lessons of the Hour, Julien va redescobrir fotografies en el seu arxiu i va reorganitzar les imatges de manera que dialoguessin amb Lessons of the Hour. Mostren la població manifestant-se i exigint una investigació independent de les circumstàncies de la mort de Colin Roach. Les tàctiques intimidatòries de la policia contra la campanya de manifestacions han estat coreografiades al ritme militant de la música dub de Mad Professor, i la unitat de la cultura i la política negres es transmeten vivament mitjançant les actuacions benèfiques de poetes i músics per a la campanya.

Founded in 1999, the last decade has seen Galerie Ron Mandos develop an ever more ambitious exposition program at its spacious location in the Amsterdam gallery district. It has forged close relations with internationally renowned artists such as Hans Op de Beeck, Isaac Julien and Jacco Olivier and has been keen to draw in emerging international names such as Anthony Goicolea, Daniel Arsham and Levi van Veluw to its program. Ron Mandos´ policy is directed towards presenting actual developments in contemporary art. It seeks to give a platform to those works where the complex interrelations of artist, artwork and everyday experience are played out and where new and dynamic ways of representation are continually sought so as to shed light on the unexpected and previously hidden aspects of everyday experience.
