Megacities' Grossest Problem? Inside The Fatberg Conundrum

From the creator

This film goes deep underground with presenter Rick Edwards as he joins sanitation experts to study a truly unprecedented modern crisis: the fatberg. Beneath the streets of London's East End, a massive blockage has formed, a monster created from congealed cooking fat, mountains of wet wipes, and other human waste that has fused into a concrete-like substance. This is not just a disgusting mess; it's a huge infrastructure problem that costs millions to remove and threatens to overwhelm the entire sewer system, causing catastrophic raw sewage floods in homes and on the streets. Watch as our team cuts into the fatberg to analyse its shocking contents, reveals the incredible scale of the problem, and explores how everyday household habits are building the next subterranean monster in a city near you. This is the programme 'Fatberg Autopsy: Secrets of the Sewers'. Instagram - @realstoriesdocs Any queries, please contact us at: [email protected]
