Brixton: Flames on the Frontline

Episode 8: From the Ashes


Listen Later

The Brixton uprising sparks a summer of discontent as rioting breaks out across the country - this is no longer just about Brixton. Questions start being asked: Why is this really happening? What are the causes?

Britain is forced to start acknowledging racism, discrimination and prejudice across society. It’s the start of a conversation which is still being had today.

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