Down To Earth

Sun 3 Feb 2019

Leaving behind their cosmopolitan London life, a couple and their three young children travel the ends of the earth searching for a new perspective on life in this immersive documentary.

In their five-year journey across six continents, they live with some of the oldest indigenous communities on the planet and gain access to tribal sages never filmed or interviewed before – without a crew or schedule, just one backpack and one camera each. And the curiosity to listen.

Down To Earth reveals the deep wisdom the family discover in their conversations with these ‘Earth Keepers’ and its power to transform lives. Having lived in hiding for centuries, the Earth Keepers see that now is the time to step forward and share their insights with those who are ready to listen.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion about the issues raised in the film.

Price: £8.10 – £9.00 Duration:105 mins
Genres: Documentary
Director: Renata Heinen & Rolf Winters
