We want to tell the story of Voyager to draw attention to the fast-approaching reality that small communities in Cornwall are faced with; one that has been documented far less than the pastoral idealism that the county is known for. Mass property and industrial development are affecting small communities within Cornwall, particularly those that choose to live on the edge of society in boatyards and estuaries. As deforestation rates continue to surge around the world, it is easy to assume the problem lies further afield than our doorstep, but this is not the case. In 2017 only 7% of Cornwall’s CO2 was absorbed by trees, due greatly in part to the lack thereof. In addition, the South West has the most polluted water in the UK, with five separate beaches designated unsuitable for bathing by humans due to poor water quality. We seek to highlight these environmental and social issues in an engaging and thought-provoking manner, using strong and empathetic characters to demonstrate through a dystopian allegory the danger that apathy will enable.
