Grenfell should make us all uncomfortable': Olaide Sadiq on making Grenfell: Uncovered
Briefly

The documentary 'Grenfell: Uncovered' combines night footage, inquiry clips, and survivor testimonies to highlight systemic classism and neglect in public safety, portraying the Grenfell tragedy as a universal issue. Through interviews, including that of former Prime Minister Theresa May, it's revealed that housing disparities contribute to the perception of second-class citizens. Deemed a heartbreaking yet essential narrative, the film reflects on the decisions made by those in power, with the startling reality that tragedies can, and do, happen anywhere, urging a reevaluation of priorities in public safety.
I hope that coming out of the Grenfell tragedy, we can erase that sense. There were a group of people whose very housing meant that they were in some sense second class to others.
Sadiq knew one of the victims... I remember it like it was yesterday. You always think this country has the resources and money to ensure things like that don't happen.
