Verdict on Grenfell Uncovered
Recap
The documentary follows the events around the Grenfell tragedy. We meet residents, firefighters and investigators. This gives us a chance to hear their stories of survivors and other incidents related to the rescue. It investigates what happened and caused the tragedy to occur. This includes how the traditional safety measures were followed, but the building was built with deadly cladding.
Best Parts
There is a nice mix of the victims’ stories and condemnation of the people who cut corners. The stories are hard to hear and haunt the residents and the firefighters who tried to help during the tragedy. While nobody has ever been charged for the tragedy, it explores the errors and how people still haven’t learned from them.
Worst Parts
I think the most frustrating side of this documentary is not having answers or anyone to blame for what happened.
Final Thoughts –Grenfell Uncovered is hard-hitting, shocking and disturbing.
