There's a fight between London Heathrow Airport and local residents that has dragged on for decades. But now the UK government has backed an expansion of Heathrow to build a third runway. I’ve been speaking with people on both sides and I ended up here in Harmondsworth with community stuck in limbo. In this episode lets look at why the UK is so eager to push this multi billion pound project through, and what it means for the country and the people caught in the middle.

Hi, I'm Andy and I believe people would be less divided if they understood each other more. So in 2022 I started Faultline. I document and report on stories from overlooked people and places to shift how we see the world.

Hi, I'm Andy and I believe people would be less divided if they understood each other more. So in 2022 I started Faultline to document and report on stories from overlooked people and places to shift how we see the world.

My filmmaking journey started on Snapchat in 2016 where I encountered stories in parts of the world that are largely ignored by mainstream media. These stories were way bigger than my own, so I turned the camera onto others and became the guide. In 2018, that work earned me a Shorty Award nomination, a signal that audiences were ready for stories that had long been overlooked.

That path led me to create and showrun 'Origins' for Red Bull, a documentary series that traced the roots of extreme sports through the overlooked communities and places that built them, and how they reshaped global culture.

Over the years my reporting has taken me to places experiencing profound change, from the Arctic to the Middle East, across Eastern Europe, South Asia and the United States, to forgotten communities back home in the UK. Everywhere I go, the same pattern emerges despite language barriers and cultural differences, everyone has stories they want to tell. It’s obvious when we have real conversations we find common ground and learn something new. But inside our algorithmic bubbles, that curiosity has been replaced with fear.

Faultline is my answer to that: a space for stories from places you might never think to look. Wherever possible, I travel to where those stories live, listen closely, and share what I find. Because choosing curiosity over fear changes how we see the world. That’s the journey here, and I’d love for you to be part of it.
