Bradford Riots Channel four

Channel 4 Thursday 4 May 9pmOn 7th July 2001 the Manningham area of Bradford experienced what has been described as the worst rioting in mainland Britain for 20 years. The riots erupted after weeks of tension fomented by the activities and threats of the National Front and the BNP - an organisation that continues to win a large number of votes in council elections in the area.

Written by Neil Biswas, in his second drama commission for Channel 4 (following Second Generation), Bradford Riots tells of that night of vicious rioting from the perspective of a group of young Asian men whose lives, families and community have been defined and decimated by these events.

This documentary uses a lot of real life clips and footage taken on the day, some interviews are included however they are more focused on presenting the footage, however we want to make an impression on the viewer.
