Grenfell(2018)

Grenfell is a documentary that examines the tower fire that devastated West London in June 2017, killing 72 people. The film investigates the circumstances surrounding the blaze at the 24-storey residential building in North Kensington, exploring the systemic failures, cost-cutting measures, and regulatory negligence that contributed to the tragedy. Through interviews and archival footage, the documentary traces how a routine kitchen fire spread rapidly through the tower, overwhelming evacuation procedures and trapping residents. Grenfell scrutinizes the decisions made by local authorities, building contractors, and government bodies, asking difficult questions about accountability and the value placed on social housing. The film serves as both a memorial to those lost and a critical examination of how such a catastrophe was allowed to happen in modern Britain.
