Title: Up in Flames: Mr Reeves and the Riots
Description: Documentary following one shop owner in the aftermath of the
riots of August 2011. When the riots struck there was no-one
more taken by surprise than Maurice Reeves, 80-year-old

watch his 144-year-old family business go up in flames. This
film follows him in the aftermath of that night, trying to
work out how the town he had always thought so safe could
descend into arson and looting, and whether he should ever
open up shop again in the midst of a community that could
spiral out of control so drastically. In the weeks that
follow he meets other victims of the riots, comes face to
face with disaffected Croydon young people, and takes on
local politicians - becoming more and more Churchillian by
the week, a steadfast octogenarian rebuttal to riot and
violence
