The critical consensus

Moving and insightful documentary about the controversial shooting of Mark Duggan.

****(*)Emma Simmonds, The List, 11/07/2016

A bitterly sad and angry film about Mark Duggan – the Tottenham man whose shooting by police provoked riots – and his contemporaries on Broadwater Farm.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14/07/2016

Powerful, thought-provoking documentary.

****(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 15/07/2016
