ArunDoc : CineVic presents Our Land

UK 2026 Orban Wallace - Certificate 12 - 1 hr 30m

Of all the debates in our country, the ‘Right to Roam’ is, intrinsically, a very dangerous path … then along comes a beautifully made film that embraces fair and inclusive discussion. Could there be a way through?

In the words of the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw, ‘Orban Wallace’s documentary avoids big clashes between landowners and campaigners in favour of wide-ranging exploration’. The question still remains: who has the right to roam the English countryside? In England, 92% of the land and 97% of all rivers are not legally accessible. At the same time, it is a landscape shaped by centuries of inheritance and tradition, with land held and cared for by families across multiple generations. This highly watchable film brings these opposing worlds together and explores issues like barriers to connection for people of different backgrounds and communities. With an introduction to the history of the land justice debate by renowned nature writer Robert Macfarlane, animated by May Kindred Boothby, Our Land supplies a crafted and illuminating map.
