HEALING THE LAND, 9min., USA
Directed by Sue Williams
“Healing the Land” follows six months of animal life on Wild Harmony Farm, a 40-acre organic livestock spread run by Rachael Slattery and her husband Ben. As they describe their situation, young farmers today are inheriting tired land, land that has been overused and abused for generations – and their job is to restore it. Where conventional industrial agriculture runs on pesticides, herbicides and animals raised in warehouses, the couple practices regenerative farming, prioritizing soil health, biodiversity, and healthy livestock raised outdoors.

Directed by Ian Derry
A stunning one-off documentary exploring the corals of the Red Sea, where science and conservation are looking for ways to protect coral globally. Told through the eyes of a Saudi female free-diver, from Saudi Arabia to Mexico during the hottest year on record, it demonstrates the plight of corals, the race for solutions and the need for a coordinated global effort to save our oceans.
