Grenfell: Uncovered. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025 Photo: Courtesy of Netflix Netflix doco Grenfell traces the events leading up to the tragic Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017. Drawing from evidence presented in the public inquiry and original journalism and research, the film examines how a series of events in the years leading up to the fire culminated in an avoidable tragedy. It also highlights the ongoing call for justice. Grenfell explores how key decisions led to the tower becoming a threat to life, the ethical, financial and political issues that played out, the predicament of those at home on the night and those that came to try and save them. Director Olaide Sadiq shaped the film with the voices of Grenfell's bereaved and survivors, and those who fought for change long before and after the tragedy.
