A thoughtful and quietly rousing documentary exploring Britain’s growing right-to-roam movement and the debate over who truly has access to the countryside.
Director Orban Wallace follows campaigners pushing for broader public access to land in England and Wales, inspired by Scotland’s long-established outdoor access laws. Rather than framing the issue as a straightforward battle between protesters and wealthy landowners, the film takes a wider view, speaking to walkers, activists and rural landowners with sharply differing opinions about ownership, tradition and public space.
Alongside the political discussion, Wallace captures the eccentric energy of the movement itself, from peaceful mass trespasses to surreal gatherings involving Morris dancers and folk-inspired celebrations in open fields. The deeper emotional connection many people feel towards nature and shared landscapes comes through in conversations and contrasting perspectives that unfold naturally without forced conclusions. Even those resistant to change are presented as part of a broader national conversation about land, class and community.
By the end, the film leaves behind a simple but persuasive idea: that access to the countryside should feel less like a privilege and more like something shared by everyone.

Parking in Berkhamsted is very difficult but there is road parking along Three Close Lane. Please allow time to find somewhere to park. We meet between (or near to) the two doors in the bar.
