Overview
- The Netflix documentary premiered on June 20, 2025, weaving survivor, family and firefighter testimony with inquiry footage to reconstruct the blaze that killed 72 people.
- It details how a cost-cutting refurbishment clad the tower in highly flammable panels manufactured by Arconic, turning the building into a firetrap.
- The film highlights the London Fire Brigade’s ‘stay put’ policy and internal warnings that downplayed known safety risks before the disaster.
- Former prime minister Theresa May is the only senior politician interviewed on camera, reflecting on her failure to meet community leaders in the aftermath.
- Survivors and bereaved families say they hope the film’s renewed attention will prompt prosecutions and result in bans for companies implicated in the refurbishment.
