DESCRIPTION:
Channel 4 Documentary One Mile Away charts the attempts by two warring gangs in inner city Birmingham, the Burger Bar Boys (B21) and the Johnson Crew (B6), to bring peace to their neighborhoods'. Shot before, during and after the Summer 2011 riots, the documentary follows Penny Woolcock's hip hop musical 1 Day, which was informed by the same postcode wars. The film follows their painstaking journey to recruit more supporters from both sides taking place over two years. They get advice from Jonathan Powell, who oversaw the Good Friday Agreement, and the Birmingham riots erupt.
