Twenty years ago, having inherited the grand Knepp Estate, landowner Charlie Burrell and his partner Isabella Tree embarked on a remarkable experiment. Instead of continuing down the path set out for them by farming the estate, as it had been for the previous 200 years, they decided instead to step back and let nature take its course.
It wasn’t an easy decision. In this new film, based on Isabella’s bestselling book of the same name, she details their story from its very beginnings, recounting how the decision to end farming was a tough and emotional one. But, having come to a realisation about the damage being done to their land, it seemed the only course to take.
