The New York Times: The Truth is Local

Jun 2019

The New York Times explores the intricacies of municipal infrastructure in The Truth is Local, an investigative documentary piece centered on the New York City subway system. Developed by Droga5 New York, the project navigates systemic challenges through a blend of subterranean footage, historical records, and direct interviews with key transit figures and commuters. The production, managed by Furlined, utilises a cinematic, live-action technique to document transit management and mechanical failures. Post-production and VFX were completed by Company 3 New York and Significant Others, with sound design by Wave Studios NY and editing by Final Cut London. The piece leans into a high-contrast aesthetic to frame its journalistic narrative.
