Wilding
PG
Following Sir. Charles Burrell and his conservationist wife, Isabella Tree, the film follows the couple as they set to work with a groundbreaking vision, battling entrenched tradition and major forces along the way, daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature.
Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust 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 significant rewilding experiments in Europe and beyond.
Wilding is produced by three-time Oscar-winning production company Passion Pictures; partnered with Oscar-nominated and Emmy and Peabody Award-winning HHMI Tangled Bank Studios whose most recent film All That Breathes won best documentary at Sundance, Cannes and the BFI London Film Festival.

Arts Fuse
“Mapping the regeneration of over-farmed and polluted land given over to the wild in 2000, this is a welcome story about nature’s ability to just get on with it.”
