Grand Trunk

Grand Trunk follows a single thread through three decades of coverage: the people the headlines were about, and what happened to them afterwards.

It moves between the official account and the street-level one, tracing how each announcement landed on the people it was announced about.

The result is less a history than a record: patient reporting from a region the rest of the world tends to read about only after something has gone wrong.
