Derek vs Derek, Totnes

Derek vs Derek:

🧑‍🌾Derek vs Derek is a feature documentary and global impact campaign tackling one of the most urgent challenges of our time - how can we farm and restore nature simultaneously?

🐄Derek Banbury is an advocate for intensive dairy farming; doing his bit to feed the nation.

🐗Derek Gow is giving his entire farm over to nature; rewilding it into an oasis for wildlife.

Tempers fray, wild animals escape, and the land between them is inevitably transformed.

Location:

Join us at the incredible rewilding project of Ambios (situated on the Sharpham Estate in Totnes), to breathe, watch, discuss and eat together in the unique 99p Films model.

We hope to discuss with you what the future of our countryside might look like, and how we all have a say in changing the story- from division, to understanding.

Feast:

Our food this evening will be cooked by Sima from @thekitchentabl, (who also cooks for Ambios' Breaking Bread events) using produce from the Ambios garden and other British grown ingredients. This evening will be not only about discussing how farming can be done better, but championing those that already do great things for all of nature (including us!).

⏰Schedule:

5:30pm - Doors open. 

6-7pm - Feast.

7-9pm - The screening. We will start with a guided breath work to settle the room, followed by a screening and group discussion.
