Heal the Land

Directed by Hayley Smith

Filmed exclusively on site at Heal Somerset, this 25-minute documentary explores how Heal Rewilding is embarking on an ambitious mission to transform a former, unproductive livestock farm into a resilient haven for wildlife recovery. As the charity enters its second year on the farm in 2024, the film charts its dramatic challenges, makes remarkable discoveries and camera traps reveal some astounding new species arrivals, demonstrating that when you give nature space, it really can begin to bounce back. With England languishing in the bottom 3% of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth, the challenge to restore its biodiversity and kickstart nature recovery has never been more urgent. This film offers hope for the positive change the rewilding movement can bring.
