From south London to Kensal Green and Grahame Park, explore the city through its people, communities and criminal cases.
This collection moves between neighbourhood histories, football-related disorder and individual biographies. The films show how strongly a story can become attached to a place, while the companions keep the focus on the people and events actually covered. Choose a neighbourhood film for the wider setting or an individual profile for a closer account.
A killing in Brixton, an inquiry into criminal assets in Jamaica and a surge in London shootings form the documentary’s three strands. Their common problem is how investigators secure information, cooperation and lasting public trust.
Millwall’s football history is also a story about how a minority can shape a club’s public image. The documentary follows hooliganism, the memory of Luton in 1985, and efforts to rebuild trust through supporters and community work.
The opening film in the football-hooliganism series traces the Chelsea Headhunters from their origins through changing alliances, exposure and aftermath. Interview material adds another layer: the way participants explain a history they helped shape.
A place-led documentary about Kensal Green considers the distance between a neighbourhood’s history and its crime reputation, with the effects on residents providing a more useful focus than sensational labels.
Street Crime UK’s estate documentary begins with Grahame Park’s housing and aviation history, offering a place-based companion that keeps the neighbourhood’s identity broader than the reputation suggested by the title.
A documentary portrait of Jimmy Moody explores the construction of an underworld reputation, the contrast between personal recollection and criminal allegation, and a death that frames the film’s central question.
The documentary’s published account centres on Gary Nelson, Mike Tyson and an expensive jewellery dispute. It explores a point of contact between professional boxing, personal protection and the expectations that can develop around celebrity access.
Follow this route through the collection, or choose the story that interests you. Read each film’s companion for its own facts, themes and publication context.
