Circle/Line

Are you happy? This is the question that we ask people outside or near the stations of London Underground's Circle Line. Circle/Line is, then, a documentary comprised of vox pop interviews with 'everyday' people - from the homeless to the hopeful, from the ambitious to the activist, from task-driven Londoners to tourists. Inspired by Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin's classic documentary, Chronique d'un été/Chronicle of a Summer (France, 1961), Circle/Line is nonetheless an original work and a fascinating insight into the lives of people in contemporary London. Shot by Beg Steal Borrow regular Tom Maine, the film is both a portrait not just of people, but also of the city of London itself.
