Brixton: Flames on the Frontline
Contains strong language and some violent scenes.

Available for over a year

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. ---------- Credits Presenter: Big Narstie Producers: Helen Clifton and Ingrid Kelly Editor: Gail Champion Executive Producer: Natasha Johansson Sound Design: Wayne Parkes and Sam Turner Additional production: Jane Andrews and Annabel Deas Research: Derrick Bennett and Imogen Rhodes With thanks to Paul Field Series Producer: Ben Robinson Series Editor: Gail Champion
