The Kingsway Exchange has been abandoned for decades, but it was a place of espionage, communication & refuge. One of Britain’s most important citadels and yet almost no one knows it exists. I’ve spent days exploring. Now I want to show you what happened down here, why it matters and whether it might one day be needed again.

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.
