The Robots of Brixton is a short film by Kibwe Tavares. Robots in the film are enduring poverty, police brutality and have been relegated to an undesirable part of London, Brixton. Fed up with the poor treatment and living environment, riots erupt. Footage of the actual riot in Brixton that occurred in 1981 is used in the film.
This film not only echoes what occurred in Brixton, but also what has happened in other cities throughout the world in which minorities and poor people have been placed in inferior positions within society.
