Channel 4’s new documentary One Day in Southport opens with a chilling blend of CCTV footage tracking Rudakubana’s movements before the attack and heart-wrenching testimonies from the victims and their families as they retell the horror of that day. Only their eyes are shown – primarily to hide their identities, but with the added effect of heightening the rawness of their grief.
Using interview footage filmed by YouTuber Wesley Winter at the Southport riot, the documentary shines a light on the simmering unrest among members of the public that erupted after the incident. Winter speaks to bricklayer Dean Neil, a prominent voice at the Downing Street riots just two days after the attack, who represents the less extreme end of a far-right that quickly blamed the “unvetted” and “unwanted immigrants coming into the country” for the attack.

This point is underscored by clips shown of Andrew Tate’s vitriolic online rants filmed from the comfort of his luxury car alongside audio from X chatrooms that spread false claims about Rudakubana’s ethnicity and immigration status.
Producer and editor Dan Reed is right to highlight how that anger is often misdirected toward vulnerable communities rather than those in power, but he stops short of truly interrogating why that fury exists in the first place. He poses pertinent questions but offers up few answers.

Nearly a year has passed since the Southport attack and the ensuing riots, yet headlines of violent migrant protests in Epping now dominate the front pages – a stark reminder that little has changed. The anger that erupted back then still lingers, unaddressed and unresolved.
