Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bet on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. The young 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.
“Extraordinary” ★★★★ Sunday Independent
“Wonderful…An inspiring true story that shows how we can revive nature and restore hope” Patrick Barkham, The Guardian
Award-winning feature documentary WILDING (which sold out five screenings last year at Byron Bay International Film Festival!) will be followed by a pre-recorded virtual Q&A with author Isabella Tree, in conversation with Tim Allard (AWC CEO) and hosted by Australian screen legend Jack Thompson.
