Screening of “Our Land” with Nadia Shaikh & Orban Wallace

Tuesday April 14th
Doors & drinks at 6pm; Film starts 6.30pm

This event is now fully booked. We do not have a waiting list.

Documentary “Our Land” (1hr 30mins) spotlights those fighting for greater public access to the English countryside. It follows the Right to Roam movement as it embarks on mass trespass, campaigning and education, frequently finding itself in conflict with England's landowners.

The film focuses on land justice campaigner and co-director of the Right to Roam campaign Nadia Shaikh, Nick Hayes, author of The Book of Trespass, and Guy Shrubsole, author of Who Owns England? and The Lie of the Land — as well as landowners from Cornwall to Scotland who see themselves as long-term custodians of the countryside.

With an introduction to the history of the land justice debate by nature writer Robert Macfarlane, "Our Land" examines access, custodianship, and conservation, challenging age-old beliefs about property that have shaped relationships with the land for over a thousand years. The film also brings to light barriers to connection to the countryside for people of colour, featuring groups that promote access to nature for Global Majority and refugee communities.

The screening will be followed by supper and discussion led by Nadia Shaikh, co-director of the Right to Roam campaign and the film's director Orban Wallace. With 50% of the English countryside owned by just 1% of the population, we’ll talk about rights of access, but also how we might radically rethink ownership and guardianship of all the nation’s land.

The evening will include a break for a one-pot vegan supper that we’ll eat together.
