On Monday 29 June Buxton Film are screening Our Land which is described as: Featuring the recent Kinder Trespass commemoration, this daring and entertaining documentary explores the growing movement for the right to roam in England and beyond. The film gives voice to people fighting to broaden access to the countryside as well as custodians claiming the right to restrict it in the name of stewardship. With some beautiful landscape cinematography, we are challenged to think about age-old beliefs around property that have shaped our relationship with the land for over a thousand years and how questions of ownership are intricately tied to histories of colonialism, class and power. There are some laugh-out-loud moments too! Check out the trailer on their website and maybe go along and enjoy the big screen experience. ![]()
