What is Riot on Redchurch Street?
Set in Shoreditch during the tense run-up to London’s 2011 riots, a young punk bandleader (Rhys James) and his French torch singer girlfriend (Alysson Paradis) get tangled in a twisted love triangle with their Svengali-like music manager (Sam Hazeldine). Racial discord boils over when local thugs desecrate a mosque, igniting an incendiary night of violence, passion, and redemption.
“Riot On Redchurch Street is my love letter to Shoreditch’s rock and roll underbelly… blending TikTok’s generation with French New Wave jump cuts.”
— Filmmaker Trevor Miller
Freestyle Digital Media acquired the film from Glenn Reynolds of Circus Road Films. Watch Riot On Redchurch Street – Director’s Cut starting January 28, 2025, and witness the frenzy of music, desire, and protest that turned East London upside down.
