“This spellbinding documentary told the story of the working-class communities of North Kensington in London, and how the richest borough in Britain has long tolerated the country’s worst levels of social inequality.” – Gerard O’Donovan, The Telegraph
“An hour-long documentary which, in its calm and objective sanity, invited you to reinvest a little faith in human nature… In so many ways it was unsurprising that Grenfell burned. And to be led through the historical context in this way, rather than with catcalls and slogans, was all the more powerful” – Euan Ferguson, The Guardian
“Before Grenfell: A Hidden History was an eloquent lesson in how things can look dramatically different while not changing that much at all. This history tutorial was as angering as it was fascinating.” – Carol Midgley, The Times
“This potent and deeply saddening film told the rich history of the area surrounding Grenfell Tower – an area with the UK’s widest gap between its richest and poorest residents who were, ultimately, betrayed when the heart of their community was engulfed in flames. This was essential viewing.” – Elisa Bray, The I
