Olaide Sadiq’s directorial debut Grenfell: Uncovered examines the disturbing chain of events that led to the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, giving survivors, bereaved families and firefighters a platform to share their story.
In the latest episode of the Directors UK Podcast, recorded live at our exclusive member event last month, Olaide sits down with fellow documentary director Toby Trackman, to discuss:
In their conversation, Olaide shares:
• What she felt her film could add to the ongoing conversation around Grenfell
• How she built authentic and trusting relationships with her contributors, and the duty of care she felt towards them throughout the entire filmmaking process
• How she blended emotional and investigative storylines to create a film that is both urgent, and holds the experiences of victims at its core
• What it was like working with Netflix at all stages of production
• And more.
You can listen to their full conversation now, on Spotify, Apple Podcast, SoundCloud, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
