Sparked by the controversial and unproven claims surrounding the police killing of Mike Duggan, this film delves deep into the ensuing chaos that engulfed London and other cities, revealing a society on the brink. Witness the widespread unrest and the harsh reality of thousands of young individuals hastily judged and incarcerated, highlighting a systemic failure to address the core issues of policing and government accountability. Set against the backdrop of a nation grappling with deep-seated inequalities, this documentary serves as a poignant precursor to the global Black Lives Matter movement, shedding light on the persistent challenges faced by BAME communities in Britain. "An early warning signal, totally ignored" - this film not only captures the events of 2011 but also serves as a critical reflection on the missed opportunities for meaningful reform and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. Join us on this eye-opening journey into the past, to better understand the present and inspire change for the future. See less
