Episode 1: The Fuse is Lit

Brixton: Flames on the Frontline

The childhoods of a group of kids in Brixton are punctured by the threat of racism. That realisation changes their lives - and sets them on a course to the Brixton riots years later.

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