Life After My Lockdown | Raphael Rowe | TEDxWarwick

Raphael Rowe tells the story of how he spent 12 years in prison for murder and robbery - crimes he did not commit. After over a decade of psychological trauma, Rowe explores the power of hope in the darkest of times. Having eventually being found to be not guilty, he was released from prison, and dedicated his life to criminal justice reform. The talk goes on to argue that despite the tragic events of the pandemic, hope is crucial to carry us through to better times. Raphael Rowe is an investigative journalist who works with the BBC, Netflix and Back The Brave. He is best known as the presenter of the Netflix docuseries ‘Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons’, and also works on ‘The One Show’ and ‘Sunday Morning Live’. He is the author of the memoir and autobiography ‘Notorious’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
