PERFECT STORM: The England Riots Documentary

“If the young are not initiated into the village, they will burn it down just to feel its warmth.” – African Proverb.

This mini-documentary film looks at the initial causes and wider context surrounding the recent England riots. Politicians refuse to acknowledge their role in creating a deeply unfair and failing society, a perfect storm of police brutality, city poverty and austerity measures, that will only get worse unless the root problem is addressed.

Award winning filmmakers Bill Maloney and Lilly Starr took to the streets of South East London reporting from Lewisham, Catford, Brixton, Croydon, Bromley and Eltham to talk at street level, allowing the people to speak freely. Police officers are questioned with one stating: "WE HAVE NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH WITHIN THE POLICE FORCE!" Nuff said.
