A documentary project commissioned by Tipping Point UK, Defra's Farming in Protected Landscape Programme, and supported by the North Pennines National Landscape team.Doors 7pm
Film Starts 7:30pm
The Leaving It Better project brought together environmental campaigners from across North East England with a group of farmers from Upper Teesdale in the North Pennines. Over the course of a year the group met on farms in Teesdale to have conversations about the work and campaigns they’re involved in, and consider the impacts of their actions in the landscapes and communities that they live in.
The aim of the project was to create a space for dialogue between two groups of people who are not often in conversation with each other, both of whom sometimes feel misrepresented in the media. It offered a place for farmers and campaigners to come together and explore each other’s areas of work and interest.
Leaving It Better reflects the common ground the group found through listening to each other and the positive actions they are taking to care for the world around them.
During the evening we will be showcasing the Zine [Sophie Buxton], Podcast [Jenny Dinwoodie] and Film [Christo Wallers] that have been made as part of the project.
Followed by discussion and Q&A
