The Greek Village That Won't Die
In 2015, residents of Sfendili on the Greek island of Crete were forced to vacate their homes as their village was submerged. They believed their sacrifice was a lifeline for the rest of the island. Today, Sfendili has resurfaced, prompting Andy to visit and connect with former residents to understand why Greece aims to drown this village. Hi, I'm Andy, and I believe greater understanding leads to less division. In 2022, I launched Faultline to highlight stories from overlooked people and places, aiming to shift our global perspective. My filmmaking began on Snapchat in 2016, capturing stories often ignored by mainstream media. These stories encouraged me to focus the camera on others, leading to a Shorty Award nomination in 2018. This path led me to create 'Origins' for Red Bull, a documentary series exploring the roots of extreme sports through communities that shaped them. My reporting journey has taken me to varied places, from the Arctic to the Middle East, across Eastern Europe, South Asia, the US, and forgotten communities in the UK. Everywhere, a common thread of storytelling emerges, revealing that real conversations discover common ground and new knowledge. Faultline serves as a platform for stories from unexpected places. I travel to where stories exist, listen closely, and share my findings, advocating for curiosity over fear and changing our worldview. Join this journey.

What Happened to London’s Other Underground
There is an abandoned railway network 60 feet underneath London that wasn’t part of the London Underground. Known as the Post Office Railway (or the Mail Rail), its primary purpose was to move mail quickly across London and beyond. At its peak in 2003, this vital network suddenly shut down, going from delivering 4 million items a day to zero. In this episode, Andy explores why such an important system was forgotten. Faultline, produced by Andy Burgess, takes you underground to uncover this mystery. Special thanks to Tom Harrow-Smith and The Postal Museum for their contributions. Andy shares his filmmaking journey, explaining how he began on Snapchat in 2016, shining a light on overlooked stories from around the world. His work, including the documentary series 'Origins' for Red Bull, aims to bridge divides by sharing stories of profound change and community resilience. Follow Faultline on Instagram and TikTok.

My filmmaking journey began on Snapchat in 2016, revealing untold stories from around the globe, recognized with a Shorty Award nomination in 2018. This path led to creating 'Origins' for Red Bull, exploring the roots of extreme sports and more, reshaping global culture. Through my work, I've traveled to diverse regions, finding that everyone has stories to share. Conversations bridge differences, but algorithmic bubbles have replaced curiosity with fear. Faultline aims to counter this by sharing stories from unexpected places, fostering curiosity over fear.

Through exclusive access to photographs, maps, and documents, and insights from individuals who've worked there, we explore life on Mount Athos and question why women are banned.

Those stories led me to 'Origins' for Red Bull, a documentary series about extreme sports and their cultural impacts. Throughout my reporting, I have explored places undergoing significant changes, from the Arctic to the Middle East, across Eastern Europe, South Asia, and the United States, connecting with forgotten communities in the UK. Despite language barriers and cultural differences, everyone has stories to tell. When we have real conversations, we find common ground and learn something new.
