Grenfell Uncovered (2025)

This is a Netflix documentary on the Grenfell Towers tragedy that left 72 dead. The fire traveled up the outside of the building in the cladding. The result was a fire that looked like a Hollywood film.

This film will crush you.  It's a sad story that reveals how hundreds of people were put at risk for profit. 

The film is a mixture of survivors tales and the story of the investigation in what happened.  I was locked in to the film from start to finish, I'm not sure that the mix really works. While I frequently complain that many Netflix  series really should have been a single film, in this is a case it should have been two parts, one telling the story of the fire and one telling the story of the investigation and what it turned up.

My complaint aside, I was moved. This is a sad tale that is very likely to be repeated over and over again.

Recommended.
