If we keep on this course we’ll be left living on a planet full of pigeons and dogs on the beaten down crust of our own excrement.

Wildlife gets in the way. I love intensive farming. Supplying the world with food. Everybody is happy with a full belly.

On a country road in Devon, intensive dairy farmer Derek Banbury is horrified at the “devastation” of  his neighbour’s once productive farm.  Dubbed  a “maverick rewilder” by the media,  Derek Gow is an unrepentant ex-sheep farmer hellbent on turning his land into an oasis for nature.  

Shot over three years the film charts the two Derek’s turbulent relationship, as tempers fray, wild animals run amok, and the land is radically transformed. Made by BAFTA award winning director James Dawson, it’s a film about land use and farming told by farmers. Blunt, funny and heartwarming in equal measure.
