Wilding – Encore
A film by David Allen
A second chance to see this inspiring film at the Merlin Theatre.
Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of a young couple who bet on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate.
The couple battle entrenched tradition, and dare 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.
