Overview

• Netflix released Grenfell Uncovered on June 20, 2025, revisiting the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire that claimed 72 lives, including 18 children.
• The documentary centers on survivors, bereaved families and firefighters and features a rare interview with former Prime Minister Theresa May.
• It details how a faulty fridge-freezer sparked the blaze but combustible cladding supplied by firms such as Arconic and Celotex fuelled its rapid spread.
• Critics have commended the film’s emotional storytelling for bringing the 2024 Grenfell Inquiry findings to a global audience without introducing new evidence.
• Its release has intensified scrutiny on corporate accountability as the Cabinet Office launches investigations under the Procurement Act and plans to dismantle the tower proceed.
