Anger is palpable on screen. The Fire Next Time feels like a simmering pot, always on the verge of boiling over. The shadowy, unexplained oppression closing in on the estate becomes a perfect metaphor for the way society continues to treat those of lower socio-economic status. While, the introduction of the djembe drum soundtrack shifts the audience from detached spectators to active participants. – S/W Curator, Rob Munday
