Brixton: Flames on the Frontline

Coming soon...


Listen Later

Forty years ago, Brixton burned. It was the people versus the police as riots broke out over a spring weekend.

Big Narstie speaks to the people involved to reveal the causes of the violence.

A series of injustices shaped and tainted people’s lives and caused resentment to grow until it couldn’t be contained.

The uprising changed the national conversations on identity and race and was a catalyst for changes to policing across the UK.

Big Narstie explores the impact of the riots on individual lives - and on the whole of society - in the new podcast ‘Brixton: Flames on the Frontline’.

Coming soon.
