Environment Film Festival

An Environment Film Festival in Exeter Cathedral, showing Six Inches of Soil & Wilding. Each film will be followed by a panel of experts in their area who will share how the films are relevant to our faith and take questions.

Six Inches of Soil tells the inspiring story of young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.

Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on 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.
