Beneath Our Feet

_Beneath Our Feet _is a six-part episodic drama exploring home and belonging, urban regeneration and community ownership. The series follows 5 young people as they attend an underground rave below their estate, the night before it's going to be bulldozed to make way for new-build flats. Whilst at the rave, the ground collapses beneath their feet, and they end up trapped in a vast underground cave network. They have to use their memories of the folklore surrounding the system - passed down through the generations - to navigate their way to safety, through tiny passageways, across underground lakes, and through doors locked by mysterious codes.
