Big Narstie: There's 'so much more' to Brixton riots story

The grime MC looks back at the Brixton riots and their impact on the community.

For grime MC Big Narstie, Brixton is his hometown. But 40 years ago, it was a very different place - with a series of injustices culminating in the historic Brixton riots of 1981.

Known locally as the 'uprising,' the protests had a huge impact on Britain, changing views on identity, racism and policing across the UK.

In the new podcast, Brixton: Flames on the Frontline, Big Narstie explores the series of events that led to the uprising and how its legacy still affects Britain today.
