Derek vs Derek Screening

About This Event

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 award-winning director James Dawson, it’s a film about land use and farming told by farmers. Blunt, funny and heartwarming in equal measure.

Come join us for tea, cake and conversation. There is no charge for attending the screening, but we'd welcome donations to the Wilder Connections Charity for anyone that is in a position to do so.

This event will be proceeded by a community day, please book on to that separately if you'd like to help us plant some trees!
