About this event
The screening will be followed by a live discussion with director James Dawson. What do you do when your neighbour goes completely wild? Award-winning director James Dawson’s new documentary is set in the rolling hills of Devon, telling the story of two neighbouring farmers who share the same name but take radically different approaches to land use. In equal parts hilarious and moving, the film shines a light on the vital debate surrounding the future of rural Britain, encouraging conversation around how farming and nature restoration might work together. “Engagingly eccentric crowd-pleaser” - Screen Daily Runtime: 87 minutes Director: James Dawson Cast: Derek Banbury, Derek Gow Country: UK Year: 2026 Rating: (15) Documentaries
