Honeyland (2019), dir. Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir StefanovIt's not often we bend our "released in the last 3 years" guidelines, but the selection panel was unanimous in our vote to screen this documentary. We can't wait to watch it with you!
Here's the Guardian reviewer's take: "This astonishing, immersive environmental documentary began life as a nature conservation video about one of Europe’s last wild-beekeepers. The scene is an abandoned village in North Macedonia where Hatidze, a woman in her mid-50s, harvests honey sustainably the traditional way from wild hives... When an itinerant cow herder pitches up with his wife and seven rowdy children, Hatidze... teaches Hussein beekeeping. Just don’t take too much honey, she cautions. Her warnings go unheeded with terrible consequences. But Hussein isn’t a villain; he’s a man with debts and a family to feed." https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/sep/11/honeyland-review-beekeeping-bees-north-macedonia-documentary
