2011 saw the largest wave of disorder in the UK since the 1980s. This revelatory film hears from the people who experienced the riots up close and personal. A decade on, we look back at the summer of 2011 through the eyes of those whose lives have never been the same since. In a series of candid interviews, we hear the story from all angles. Convicted rioters, frontline police, a judge, a government advisor and a grieving father look back at that week in August, and the years that followed, to piece together what really happened and why.

"On August 6th 2011, people gathered in Tottenham, London, to protest the police shooting of a local man, Mark Duggan. The protest devolved into a city-wide spate of riots, looting and arson. This is the story of the first terrifying hours and how one small protest turned into a national crisis."
