The Road Home / 5 Links
Ben looked into the town of Laindon and the people who live there, visiting the Basildon Heritage Centre for its archive information and using photographs, maps, vintage posters and created a web based survey for his research. Ben wanted to talk to the Laindon community, of all ages, to ask what their journeys in and out of Laindon meant to them. With the information gathered from survey results and his conversations with residents he created a set of infographics depicting How & why people travel in and out of Laindon and what those journeys meant to them. Ben also created a final short film (Coming Home) that focused on a journey home to Laindon along one of the most common routes the A127. Ben discovered that the people of Laindon nearly all had a story to tell about their journeys in and out of Laindon, and their sense of home.
A short film focusing on 5 different characters and their journey home to Laindon.
