A love letter to nature and a call to action.

Have our fast-paced lives separated us from our childhood fascination with flora and fauna in the everyday, from countryside and coastal adventures, and knowledge of where our food comes from? Have we evolved to live in a society detached from nature?

This timely short film, created by the Yorkshire and North East Film Archives, explores our need for balance in a changing world: from the demand for resources, drive for profits and ‘progress’, offset against our fundamental human rights to access green spaces, clean air, water, and fertile soils to grow healthy food to feed our families. What shines through is the human spirit, as individuals and communities fight to be on the right side of history, on a quest for environmental harmony and more sustainable lifestyles.

The film was made possible thanks to partnerships between Yorkshire and North East Film Archive, York Business School, York St John Cinema and Social Justice Project, and support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
