Wilding + Q&A

As part of Reading International Festival, in collaboration with Transition Town Reading, join us for a pair of screenings of Wilding, complete with post-film Q&A sessions.

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate.

The young couple battles entrenched tradition, and dares 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.

Post-film Q&A panel:

• Professor Alastair Driver, Director of Rewilding Britain, and Specialist Advisory Board Member for the Knepp Estate.
• Jane Ibrahim, Director of Wild Oakingham Rewilding Project.
• Professor Chris Rhodes, Chair of Transition Town Reading, and Director of Fresh-lands Environmental Actions.
