Grenfell: Uncovered

Those responsible need to be held accountable!

Grenfell Uncovered is a harrowing, necessary watch-but what's most disturbing is what hasn't happened. The documentary lays bare the tragic sequence of failures, greed, and neglect that led to 72 needless deaths. It's a sobering account, yet years later, no one has been held accountable. No justice, no charges-just silence and bureaucracy. The film reignites fury, forcing us to confront a system that allowed this disaster and continues to protect those responsible. It's an indictment, not just of the fire, but of the inaction that followed.

Money Rules :(

I enjoyed this documentary very much. It was well done. But, I cannot understand how in 2017 a tower building did not have a sprinkler system or fire suppression system. And how could the fire service have told people to stay in their homes. This was a tragedy that did not need to happen on so many levels. The company that made the flammable products were definitely at fault, but there were so many mistakes made. Here in the US, we have very strict regulations on fire protection. NO high rise would be allowed y to have families live in the building that had no Fire suppression system. They were let down by so many.

I watched Grenfell: Uncovered because I remember the tragedy vividly when it happened. Being originally from London, I was deeply shocked seeing it unfold on the news - knowing how many lives were affected made it all the more real.

What stood out immediately was the shocking blame placed on an individual for supposedly starting the fire due to a faulty fridge. Even worse, I was disgusted by how people online targeted him because he was Muslim. What's race got to do with it? That kind of response shows how quick some are to scapegoat, instead of focusing on the real causes.

The documentary was an eye-opener. It revealed how the company responsible for the cladding tested their materials and knew they were unsafe, yet those materials were still used. It's horrifying to think that corners were cut - possibly just to make the building look better - at the cost of lives.

Despite all this, the bravery of the firefighters left me in awe. To go into a burning high-rise knowing the risk, trying to save as many people as possible... I can't imagine what they went through that night.

It was emotional hearing the voices of survivors from such a diverse community. You could feel the trauma in their stories, and the documentary didn't shy away from the rawness of it. I didn't know much about the public inquiries before watching this, but I came away angry - especially at how the council prioritised appearance over safety, and how poor training or decision-making from various authorities might've played a part.

There's clearly a lot of finger-pointing going on, but what's painfully obvious is that this disaster was avoidable. Cheap materials, ignored warnings, and a government slow to respond - it's a tragedy that still hasn't seen proper justice.

This documentary is important. It informs, it moves you, and most of all, it reminds us that this should never have happened - and can't be allowed to happen again.

A very well made documentary, excellent interviews.

The background and the technical aspects which were purposely kept from firefighters and safety advisory ignored is truly appalling.

The residents had been trying to improve the place they lived, and the place they ahd been paying for. The way they were ignored at multiple levels is disheartening but these folks fought back. They are still fighting.

This situation can happen again, causing further death and danger. These flammable materials should not be on any building, yet are apparently on many buildings in the UK and in other countries so this type of tragedy will occur again.

It feels like Piper Alpha, with Occidental never being charged--please charge the company and officials and decisionmakers that concealed the danger.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10)

I wasn't in the UK when the Grenfell Tower tragedy happened, and I hadn't followed the news much at the time, but watching this documentary has been absolutely heart-wrenching.

It's a powerful, raw, and respectful account of the people affected, the lives lost, the survivors' trauma, and the sheer scale of injustice. The way it's structured gives space for voices that need to be heard, and it doesn't let you look away from the deep failures that led to such unimaginable loss.

The documentary doesn't sensationalise, it humanises. You feel the grief, the anger, the disbelief. It's devastating, but important. I cried. I got angry. And I was left thinking about how preventable it all was.

10 stars. Everyone should watch this.
