BBC Three - Riots: The Aftershock

How the 2011 UK riots changed the lives of those who got caught up in them.

Documentary in which Radio 1's Gemma Cairney investigates how the 2011 UK riots changed the lives of those who got caught up in them, both perpetrators and victims.

Radio 1's Gemma Cairney investigates how last year's UK riots changed the lives of those who got caught up in them. Over nine months the film follows three young people who were arrested on those anarchic nights in August 2011, as well as some of the young victims of the riots. With intimate access, we find out how their lives changed as they went through the court process or, for some, the prison system as each began the challenge of building a new life after the riots.
