Beautifully made three hour documentary tells the story of three events that ignited the black South London Community in 1981. It only came to our attention when we had Radio 2 on in the car and it was a very unusual dub reggae song playing, (think it was Sir Collins and his Mind Sweepers, but oddly elusive) which turned out to name all the victims of the New Cross house fire forty years ago.
Good use of (plentiful) news footage, reggae songs and Lover's Rock, coverage of survivors, National Front activity, other uninvestigated fires at black community centres.
We must watch Small Axe. And I May Destroy You.
