Film Night: Six Inches of Soil

About the film

Six Inches of Soil is a British independent feature length documentary film shining a spotlight on soil health and regenerative farming. It tells the inspiring story of young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.

The film follows the highs and lows of three new farmers on the first year of their regenerative journey to heal the soil and help transform the food system - Anna Jackson, a Lincolnshire 11th generation arable and sheep farmer; Adrienne Gordon, a Cambridgeshire small-scale vegetable farmer; and Ben Thomas, who rears pasture fed beef cattle in Cornwall. 

As the trio of young farmers strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable businesses, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. They are joined by other experts providing wisdom and solutions from a growing movement of people who are dedicated to changing the trajectory for food, farming and the planet.

About Wild About The Wychwoods

Wild About The Wychwoods is a local nature initiative working across the three Wychwood villages - Ascott, Milton and Shipton. Our aim is to inspire people of all generations to take action to help nature in their own back gardens with simple actions and small changes. We focus on 4 main projects (hedgehogs, swifts, wildflowers and clean rivers) and we have talks throughout the year which are free to everyone. We also work in the local schools to engage the younger generation and inspire them to grow up caring for nature and wildlife.
