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. In 2016 I started experimenting with filmmaking on Snapchat, where my work was nominated for a Shorty Award in 2018. During those years, 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. That path led me to create and showrun a documentary series for Red Bull called 'Origins,' where we explored the history of extreme sports, the communities behind them, and how they shaped the cultures of today. 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 to share stories from places you might never have thought to look.Wherever possible, I get on the ground, listen deeply, and document what I find. Because when we default to curiosity instead of fear, we challenge our assumptions. That's what I'm trying to do here and I hope you'll join me.
