Netflix is about to release a devastating documentary revisiting the tragedy that occurred at Grenfell Tower in West London on June 14, 2017.

Grenfell: Uncovered examines the events leading up to the infamous tower fire as well as what happened that night.

The documentary includes interviews from a handful of residents who survived the fire, as well as details about the various parties and failings that contributed to it.

The official synopsis for Grenfell: Uncovered reads: "Survivors, witnesses and experts tell the story of the tragic fire that engulfed a residential tower block in London - and the investigation that ensued."

The hard-hitting Netflix documentary comes eight years after the deadly , which killed 72 people, including 18 children.

The film, directed by Olaide Sadiq and produced by James Rogan, Sandy Smith and Soleta Rogan, also calls for urgent action before another tragedy like this can happen again.

A longer description from Netflix reads: "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."

New film Grenfell: Uncovered is coming to Netflix on Friday, June 20, with previously unseen emails and interview footage.

The feature-length documentary is a standalone movie, with a runtime of 100 minutes.

Previous documentaries about the tragedy include Ben Anthony's Grenfell, which aired on BBC One in 2018.

The 90-minute TV movie included first-hand accounts from survivors and eyewitnesses one year after the fire.

Just before 1am on June 14, a fire broke out in the kitchen of a fourth floor flat at the 23-storey tower block in North Kensington, West London.

It only took minutes for the fire to race up the exterior of the building, spreading to all four sides. By 3am, most of the upper floors were in flames.

The subsequent Grenfell Inquiry's final report concluded that a chain of failures across the government and private sector had led to the tower becoming "a death trap".

The cladding was found to be the "principal" reason for the blaze's rapid spread, with fire tests decades earlier revealing how dangerous it was.

At the weekend, the 72 victims of the Grenfell tower fire were commemorated with a silent walk through the streets of north Kensington.

It comes two months before the dismantling of the tower is set to begin, with former residents gathering to "say goodbye to their homes" forever.
