On the 16th of August 2004, the village of Boscastle in Cornwall England, was hit by one of the worst flash floods in British history. The scenes of a 10ft wave sweeping cars and buildings into the sea were reported across the world. Andy saw that storm, he was nerby on holiday. 20 years on we've been given access to local archives and he's making the trip to Boscastle to spend time with residents, and search & rescue personnel to show you how one storm destroyed a community and what happened in the aftermath to try and save it.

Faultline was launched in the summer of 2022 by documentarian Andy Burgess. He has spent the majority of the past decade travelling across the world, producing, hosting, filming, and editing videos for himself and brands like Red Bull, Helly Hansen, & Terra Matter. He started making shortform content on Snapchat and was nominated for a Shorty Award in 2018, before moving the focus of his stories into video journalism, guiding audiences through stories from across the world. His series ‘Origins’ with Red Bull explored the history of extreme sports, the communities behind them and how they have gone on to affect the cultures of today. Faultline is a channel that combines ontheground reporting, research, and filmmaking telling human stories through geography
