« The Robots of Brixton » est un mini film / court métrage produit par Factory Fifteen, réalisé par Kibwe Tavares et David Hoffman.
L’animation met en scène des robots dans un futur peu élogieux, et fait le parallèle avec les émeutes de Brixton ayant eu lieu en 1981, entre manifestants et policiers.

Description :
Brixton has degenerated into a disregarded area inhabited by London’s new robot workforce – robots built and designed to carry out all of the tasks which humans are no longer inclined to do. The mechanical population of Brixton has rocketed, resulting in unplanned, cheap and quick additions to the skyline.
The film follows the trials and tribulations of young robots surviving at the sharp end of inner city life, living the predictable existence of a populous hemmed in by poverty, disillusionment and mass unemployment. When the Police invade the one space which the robots can call their own, the fierce and strained relationship between the two sides explodes into an outbreak of violence echoing that of 1981.
