It's remarkable to witness how the land can bounce back from long-term damage caused by human activity, as shown in this documentary. Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie took over an estate that struggled even to support weeds; the soil was depleted and immediate intervention was necessary. Their unconventional solution involved letting the area revert to a natural state—with the exception of their lawn—and the film chronicles how birds, insects, deer, pigs, cattle, all creatures that would have once moved freely across the landscape, are now restoring it. They’ve even reintroduced storks! The visuals are truly impressive, but I felt the story itself was rather underdeveloped and that emotional appeal overshadowed a key issue: whether this approach could be expanded to a larger scale. They reside in a castle, seemingly without financial concerns—at least, none are mentioned. This makes it appear as though it’s a commendable undertaking, albeit one, as a neighbor points out during a meeting, won't be able to provide for the country’s needs. When these kinds of farming practices were common, the UK population was likely only around 10% of what it is today; malnutrition and starvation were widespread problems, and without refrigeration, food supplies were vulnerable to weather conditions. The film doesn't really tackle how this method of land restoration will be able to sustain a large population. Isabella Tree leads the presentation, and she’s personable, but I think she simplifies complicated ideas—like a lesson on organic farming that avoids discussing practical challenges or financial considerations. "Duncan" the horse and some of the pigs have a good time at a charity polo match, and it's an easy film to watch, though perhaps a bit too superficial.
