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