A Dairy Story + Live Q&A
ActOne CinemaWinston Way, London
Wed 23 Sept · 20:00 · £4
About this event
Should a newborn dairy calf be separated from its mother? It’s the most divisive question in dairy farming. At Rainton Farm in south-west Scotland, one couple decided to do things differently. A DAIRY STORY follows David and Wilma Finlay as they abandon conventional methods and build the first farm in Europe to make a cow-with-calf dairy system commercially viable. What begins as a question of animal welfare opens into climate, environment, and ultimately something far more personal: a story about change, about trusting nature, and about the time we have together. The screening will be followed by a conversation with David Finlay - the farmer featured in the film, Rebecca Mayhew - of Old Hall Farm, a cow-with-calf dairy farm in Norfolk, and a representative from Compassion in World Farming, the world’s leading farm animal welfare organisation. Part of our FOOTPRINTS film strand .
