WILDING
UK, Documentary, 89 mins
Starring: Isabella Tree, Charlie Burrell
Directed by: David Allen
Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book of the same name, this charming documentary tells the incredible story of a young couple who bet on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate.
Aiming to revitalise their lands, Isabella and Charlie set to work utilising a completely untested yet ground breaking vision.
They begin by ripping down fences as they return their land to nature, entrusting its recovery to a motley mix of animals, both tame and wild.
It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most fascinating and significant rewilding projects in Europe.
“Tree and Burrell’s extraordinary scheme will give hope to anyone concerned about the challenges the Earth faces after centuries of industrial farming.” – London Film Festival
