Today we did everything your mum tells you not to do- go into dodgy neighborhoods, get into cars with strangers, fall asleep in those cars... and let them leave you at the port.
We started off in Peckham at 10 AM and miraculously all three of us were on time. We headed over to the shipping company and got some footage of a car being unloaded, as well as some funny characters. Then we got a ride to the port with the company's manager. It was so cozy in the cab of the truck that I dozed off for a bit while Emma filmed him talking. We ran into some trouble at the port, though. They are pretty paranoid since they had a terrorist incident not too long ago. They also had to kick out some people from the BBC who were trying to film there without permission recently.
After re-fueling with what one of the workers at the port said was the 'best fish & chips place in Essex' we hopped on the train and made our winding way back to Peckham for one last interview.
We got a lot of good footage, and are working on getting permission from the port to film there.
Tomorrow morning, we edit for critique on Thursday.
