This thoughtful documentary examines issues around public access to land in England.
92% of the English countryside is without legal public access. Through organized “mass trespass” events, Right to Roam seeks to extend this, but often clashes with landowners. This documentary gives voice to both sides: prominent land authors, Nick Hayes and Guy Shrubsole, as well as landowners defending their custodianship. It examines complex issues of access, conservation, and longstanding property rights that have shaped the English landscape for over a thousand years. Ultimately, it asks the provocative question: who truly has the right to roam?
