Hs2: Whose Line is it Anyway? follows a group of protesters in Camden, who are trying to stop Hs2 from expanding Euston Station to the West, cutting down trees, knocking down a large number of council flats and digging up St James’s Gardens; a cemetery that holds about 60,000 bodies. The film uses the experiences of these protesters as a lens to look at why Hs2 came to be and to try and discover why, when there are so many reasons why it shouldn’t, it is still going ahead. The film places the protesters and Hs2 in a broader context that examines how public policy can be hijacked by small groups of well-connected and well resourced individuals who direct the decision making process so that what benefits them is presented as being ‘in the national interest’ and it highlights how the Byzantine structures and procedural complexities of national government create an environment that excludes local people from influencing the decisions that impact on them.
