Document Riot From Wrong

In 2011 Britain saw the largest case of mass civil unrest this century. On the fourth day of the riots, in the face of devastation and destruction, nineteen passionate young Londoners- who had recently joined the nascent Fully Focussed Community- came together to take positive action. They called an emergency meeting to discuss what they could do about the wave of unrest sweeping the capital. Their conclusion was to put on hold a previously agreed film project in order to go out into the streets of London and capture as much footage, interviews and insight into the rioting as possible.

The critically acclaimed documentary Riot From Wrong is a result of that positive action. It represents the journey of the Fully Focused young people to discover and understand what really happened that summer- an unflinching look at the people at the heart of the disorder, many of them completely excluded from mainstream reporting of the events.

All 19 FFC steering group members played pivotal roles in its creation. Making it was an invaluable experience for all involved- and all share the belief that the issues surrounding the causes of the riots must not be swept under the carpet.

Our aim is to inspire young minds across London and beyond to create industry level film and documentary.
