Listen "Grow Heathrow"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Resistance is Fertile, a podcast series exploring the places where protests against polluting projects have become living experiments in different ways of organising community life and relating to nature.
In this episode we visit Grow Heathrow which, at the time of visiting back in January 2018, was a squat on the outskirts of London breathing new life into 4 acres of disused land directly in the path of Heathrow Airport's proposed third runway. Our guides show us around Grow Heathrow, sharing the history of the site and their own experiences and impressions of this alternative life. What inspiration for our own lives and communities can we find here? And what kinds of challenges emerge when you try to live in ways which question some of the deeply ingrained ideas at the root of our resource-hungry and deeply unjust society?
Contains some strong language.
Theme music by Simone Moores and Alex Ayling.
