Sunday 8th May –
The Killing Fields is a new documentary by Carlo Nero that explores the fragile relationship between wildlife, land, taxation and law in Britain and Europe. Making a powerful case for sweeping reforms, it argues that the only long-term solution to our conservation crisis is to put real value on nature's assets.
Wildwood Trust members have the chance to meet Vanessa Redgrave this Sunday when the film is launching the Brighton Festival.
Vanessa has invited Wildwood's members to join her with her son, film director Carlo Nero and Wildwood's own Peter Smith, for a special screening of the film. This will be followed by a panel discussion chaired by Prof Sir Richard Jolly, United Nations & UNESCO, with contributors to the Film including: Economist Fred Harrison, Environmental Lawyer Polly Higgins and Farmer & Landowner Dr Duncan Pickard.
The event will be held in the Brighton Dome Concert Hall Sunday 6th May, tickets £10. Tickets can be booked from this website. http://brightonfestival.org/event/477/the_killing_fields/#
