Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Form 696 was introduced after two gun deaths at London gigs in 2006, but critics argued it became a tool for racial profiling rather than genuine public safety.
The documentary captures grime at a crucial pivot point—just before Stormzy and Skepta would force the mainstream to finally listen, making this a time capsule of resistance before victory.
