Vision Quest is a documentary film set in the South London neigbourhood of Elephant & Castle.
The film follows Marcus Coates as he endeavors to locate animal spirits to guide a local community presently experiencing a disruptive and failing redevelopment scheme.
For this unlikely urban adventure, a group of residents from the iconic Heygate Estate, local politicians and the psychedelic doom rock orchestra Chrome Hoof, collectively embark on a journey into the depths of Elephant & Castle, presenting an alternative and entertaining approach to dealing with contemporary social issues.
