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.
