WILDING film Trailer HERE
Based on the bestselling book by Isabella Tree, Wilding is the inspirational story of a young couple who inherit an English country estate and bet on nature for the future of their failing, 400 year old 1,400 hecatre 'Knepp'. Situated in West Sussex , the land was plainly suffering after decades of intensive farming. Transforming it wasn’t going to be easy – as well as noxious weeds, the family faced unsympathetic neighbours and time-consuming bureaucracy.
David Allen’s film follows their journey, capturing the triumphs and setbacks and ultimately revealing a place transformed with ancient breed pigs, flower-filled hedgerows, busy beavers, rare storks, and magical swarms of butterflies. Transforming it wasn’t going to be easy – as well as noxious weeds, the family faced unsympathetic neighbours and time-consuming bureaucracy but they set to work daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature.
