A collection of three short documentaries about the Right to Roam campaign, and followed by a panel discussion and Q+A.

Our Land (16 mins)

Against the backdrop of the upcoming Supreme Court case, where the fate of the only legal wild camping area in England is to be decided, two friends trek and wild camp across Dartmoor’s captivating wilderness, from north to south. Along the way, they interview those they cross paths with, and capture their perspectives on this historic battle between a wealthy landowner and the public’s freedom.

Directed by John Harding.
