History
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.
