Documentary on England Riots between the 6th and 10th of August and the consequences for the rioter’s afterwards
Here is some detailed information on the England rioting in August; we got this information from Wikipedia:
Between 6 and 10 August 2011, several London boroughs and districts of cities and towns across England suffered widespread rioting, looting and arson.Following a peaceful march on 6 August 2011 in relation to the police response to the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan by Metropolitan Police Service firearms offices on 4 August 2011, a riot began in Tottenham, North London. In the following days, rioting spread to several London boroughs and districts and eventually to some other areas of England, with the most severe disturbances outside London occurring in Bristol and cities in the Midlands and North West of England. Related localized outbreaks also occurred in many smaller towns and cities in England.
The riots were characterised by rampant looting and arson attacks of unprecedented levels. As a result, British Prime Minister David Cameron returned early from his holiday in Italy and other government and opposition leaders also ended their holidays to attend to the matter. All police leave was cancelled and Parliament was recalled on 11 August to debate the situation.
As of 15 August, about 3,100 people had been arrested, of whom more than 1,000 had been charged. Arrests, charges and court proceedings continue, with courts working extended hours. There were total 3,443 crimes across London linked to the disorder.
Five people died and at least 16 others were injured as a direct result of related violent acts. An estimated £200 million worth of property damage was incurred, and local economic activity was significantly compromised.
Police action was blamed for the initial riot, and the subsequent police reaction was criticised as being neither appropriate nor sufficiently effective. The riots have generated significant ongoing debate among political, social and academic figures about the causes and context in which they happened.
Layout of our documentary:
Introduction: We would start the documentary by introducing the topic I have chosen to discuss or use for my documentary, I would then give some details on the England rioting benefitting both sides of the argument.
Interviews: The plan is then to go out with a camera and interview a number of people from the public and record what their views are on the rioting, For the topic I have chosen I would prefer to get interviews with a large variety of the public, like Teenagers aged 16-21 who were the largest part of the crows who were rioting, I would interview mature adults, 21 and over and low class, middle class and high class people if possible, Also if possible I would try and arrange an interview with important people to the rioting for example like the police, government or activists.
Conclusion: We would then conclude after all this with what my views were on the England rioting and how I think it should have been dealt with ect…
