Netflix is set to release a new documentary about the Grenfell Tower fire, with the film looking into how the disaster happened. The streamer announced the upcoming documentary at its Next on Netflix event on Wednesday, sharing a heartbreaking clip featuring calls made to the emergency services at the time of the fire. Speaking about the documentary, Netflix said: "The film will forensically connect the long and disturbing chain of events that led to the disastrous Grenfell Tower fire that claimed the lives of 72 people in west London in 2017.

"As well as giving a voice to survivors, bereaved families and firefighters, the documentary will unravel and document a series of events that took place in the years before the fire.". In the clip played, one panicked resident was heard calling 999, saying: "Quick, quick, quick. It's burning.". Speaking to the documentary, a firefighter said: "There were warnings to the London Fire Brigade. We knew that buildings had cladding. We had no training on cladding fires. We relied solely on the stay-put policy and we didn't really have a Plan B.".

The fire broke out at the high-rise Grenfell Tower block in West London on 14 June 2017, taking the lives of 72 people. It was the worst UK residential fire since the Blitz of World War II. Speaking about the documentary, director Olaide Sadiq said: "It’s vital to convey the significance of the investigative findings, but we are equally committed to highlighting that Grenfell was a home—a place of comfort and safety for the residents – that was sadly compromised to the extent where people’s right to safety was stripped away.

"This film has been shaped by the voices of Grenfell’s bereaved and survivors, and those who fought for change long before the tragedy as well as after.”. Earlier this week, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said that ministers will keep the promises they made in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster despite her plans to slash regulation. An inquiry into the tragedy found that deregulation across David Cameron’s former Tory government contributed to the deadly blaze, which claimed 72 lives.

Ms Reeves told reporters she "won't apologise for wanting to reform how regulation works in Britain". Pressed by the Mirror on deregulation having played a part in the Grenfell disaster, she promised that lessons would be learnt from the tragedy. Grenfell will arrive on Netflix later this year.
