A woman in her forties with long dark hair stands on a forest trail in autumn, looking upward with a contemplative expression. She wears a tan puffer vest over a black long-sleeve top, grey trousers, and carries a backpack with binoculars around her neck. She holds a fallen leaf in her hands. Tall trees with yellow-green foliage surround her, and lush undergrowth lines the path behind her.

About Our Land

Our Land dares to tread where few have trespassed before, asking the timely question of who has the right to roam in the English countryside?

The UK is a wild and beautiful place, but the vast majority of it is off limits to the general public, with 92% of land and 97% of all rivers in England 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. 

Our Land takes us to the heart of the ‘Right to Roam’ movement as it embarks on a provocative trail of mass trespass, campaigning and education, while also exploring landowners’ concerns around environmental protection and the danger such widespread access could pose to a landscape already under threat.

  1. We see a woman (actress Kim Novak) with platinum blonde hair swept up in an elegant updo, wearing a dark top and holding a sheer lavender/grey scarf. She has a cool, composed expression and is photographed against a dramatic cloudy sky, giving the image a moody, cinematic quality.

  2. A striking black-and-white film still. An older working man in a flat cap, braces and rolled-up sleeves is hauling multiple worn tyres and a battered metal bucket along a rural dirt track, fields stretching out behind him under a grey sky. He looks directly into the camera with a weathered, stoic expression — burdened but unbowed.

  3. Two young adults sit together on a wooden parquet floor in front of an ornate white fireplace, reading a letter or document. The male on the left wears a white t-shirt and has long dreadlocks; the female on the right leans on the man's shoulder, wearing a red tank top and denim skirt. The setting appears to be an elegant but bare room with decorative wallpaper.
