Brixton: Flames on the Frontline

Episode 7: Brixton Burns


Listen Later

Molotov cocktails, burning buildings, police cars smashed, running battles on the streets - London has never seen anything like this. Brixton explodes in an orgy of violence fuelled by a boiling sense of anger and injustice among the black community.

This podcast includes strong language, use of racist terms and descriptions of violence.
