Show Me the Bodies

Grenfell didn’t have to happen.



On 14 June 2017, a 24-storey block of flats went up in flames.



The fire climbed up cladding as flammable as solid petrol. Fire doors failed to self-close. No alarm rang out to warn sleeping residents. As smoke seeped into their homes, all were told to ‘stay put’. Many did – and they died.



It was a disaster decades in the making.



Peter Apps exposes how a steady stream of deregulation, corporate greed and institutional indifference caused this tragedy. It is the story of a grieving community forsaken by our government, a community still waiting for change.
