An inspirational and ground-breaking documentary revealing a subculture of committed underground voyagers, people who are not content to let old buildings rot, instead breathing new life into their labyrinthine tunnels and rooftops and celebrating the mystery, history and excitement lying dormant in derelict or 'out of bounds' urban architecture. These adventure-seekers delve into so-called 'inaccessible' places, risking arrest and challenging policies of urban order which, when probed, reveal an oppressive authoritarianism which dictates where we can and cannot venture and limits our freedom to roam.
