A group of retirees on a bus tour careen toward a pub in the quaint village of Harmondsworth for a coffee. Their tour guide cheerfully shares the history of this rural village outside London while priming the group on the local effort to stop the expansion of Heathrow airport that would destroy homes in Harmondsworth. And yet audio from a self-labeled outsider confirms that an alternative, unseen story simultaneously exists here. In a place wedded to its tourism, even the idyllic surroundings cannot erase what looms at the village’s edge.  KR
