Resistance in a Hostile Environment
Channel: S3
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Documentary Series
This three-part miniseries tells the extraordinary story of three intertwined events from 1981: the New Cross Fire, which killed 13 young Black people; the Black People's Day of Action; and the Brixton riots – turning points which would go on to define race relations in the UK for a generation.
The series looks at the '60s and '70s through the eyes of the activists who were there, and examines the socio-cultural movement that helped fuel hope and resilience, mobilised in protest of the Apartheid system in South Africa, and ultimately started Britain on the road to being a more inclusive and diverse society.
Fire
In the early hours of 18 January 1981, in a house in south London, a birthday party ended in a fire.
Thirteen young black British people died and the fire and its aftermath would ignite an uprising by the black British community.
This film tells the stories of the young people who were at the party and the events that led up to it.
Blame
The story of the aftermath of the New Cross fire and the run up to the Black People's Day of Action.
As news spread about the fire at 439 New Cross Road, the scale of the tragedy overwhelmed the local community.
The Black People's Day of Action, a mass demonstration, was organised to bring the tragedy to the attention of the nation.
The Front Line
After the New Cross fire and the Black People's Day of Action, tensions between the community and the police escalated.
In April, the situation boiled over into one of the biggest riots in British history.
Riots then flared up all over the country, but by the year's end, the people of New Cross were no closer to knowing who started the New Cross fire or why.
