Our Land (in-person & online)

Documentary

Our Land dares to tread where few have trespassed before. Orban Wallace’s (Another News Story, Robin) invigorating documentary examines the growing movement for the right to roam in the UK and beyond.

Through organised mass trespass events, the Right to Roam movement sets out to increase public access to nature, bringing it into conflict with England’s landowners. Here, Wallace gives voice to activists fighting to broaden access to the countryside and custodians claiming the right to restrict it in the name of stewardship.

An energising and clarifying film, Our Land challenges age-old beliefs around property that have shaped our relationship with the land for over a thousand years, revealing in detail how questions of ownership are intricately tied to histories of colonialism, class and power.
