On the Greenwich Line traces the absurdities of racism, austerity, and bureaucracy in contemporary London. This is a story about systemic failure and personal courage, and about London and its many lost souls, told with wisdom, humour and profound humanity.
In a run-down East London housing office, migrants and frustrated local government employees cross paths and try to work out what the latest policy means for them. As a favour to a friend, one man finds himself roped into organizing the funeral of Ghiyath, a young Syrian refugee. It is not until his life collides with Ghiyath''s death that he realises just how much he has in common with those who''ve fallen through the cracks. Told with a wry cynicism and deadpan wit, On the Greenwich Line traces the absurdities of racism, austerity, and bureaucracy in contemporary England. This is a story about systemic failure and human courage, and about London and its many lost souls, full of insight, humour and profound humanity.
