On the Greenwich Line

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 his friend, one man finds himself roped into organizing the funeral of Ghiyath, a young Syrian refugee. It is not until his life collides with Ghiyaths death that he realises just how much he has in common with those whove fallen through the cracks. On the Greenwich Line traces the absurdities of racism, austerity, and bureaucracy in contemporary England. 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.
