A classic fable of good versus evil\, David against Goliath and a timely exposé; we follow Lek Chailert\, a tribal Thai woman\, as she struggles to rescue abused elephants from the horrifically cruel but secretive and deceptive Thai tourist industry and give them a life free from cruelty and exploitation. Whilst she is globally renowned within the conservation world\, the odds are all stacked against her as big business\, political corruption\, and a ‘mafia’ of traders and traffickers are ranged against her. But as the world hurtles into a global pandemic\, Lek cleverly identifies this time of uncertainty and fear as an opportunity to out-manoeuvre her enemies and turn the tables. \nThe film offers a unique perspective into the deep emotional bonds between elephants and the people striving to free them\, shedding light on the need for conservation and protection of these majestic creatures. \n\nWatch the trailer here\n \n \n\n\nThe incredible Lek is touring with her film across Picturehouse and will join us for a 45min Q&A discussion after the film!\n\nLek Chailert: Founder of Save Elephant Foundation and Elephant Nature Park\, Lek is a Thai tribal woman and conservationist who rescues elephants from abuse in the Thai tourist industry. Lek continues to be at the forefront of elephant rights causes and has initiated projects in Thailand\, Cambodia\, and Myanmar dedicated to improving the well-being of elephants throughout the region.\nJez Lewis: Documentary Film Director. In 2009 Jez completed his debut feature documentary\, Shed Your Tears And Walk Away which Best UK First Feature at London’s East End Film Festival 2010\, an award intended for fiction. Since then Jez has continued to direct\, produce and executive produce several feature documentaries.\nCo-hosts: Maria Mossman and Mary Morgan. Maria is the founder of Action for Elephants UK which spear headed for the ivory trade to be closed down in the UK.  Mary\, is a long-standing activist’s that has attended protests and spoken out on behalf of elephants.\n\n\nBook your tickets here:\n\n\nGreen Screen tickets cost £10. \nDoors open at 1:50pm\, with the film itself ending around 4.15pm\, followed by a 45min Q&A\, ending 5pm. Bring your re-usable cups for FREE filter tea/filter coffee. \nThis event promises to be an inspiring screening and conversation on the approaches we can take to protect our fellow creatures and rethink our interactions with the world around us.

SUMMARY:GBGW 2024 - Wilding
DESCRIPTION:Wilding: Special preview screening + panel discussion+ Q&A\nRegal Picturehouse – 8-10pm\nWednesday 12th June\nWe are very excited to present a special preview screening of Wilding for Great Big Green Week\, with a live panel discussion plus Q&A at the Regal Cinema on Wednesday 12 June @ 8pm \nBased on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title\, Wilding tells the story of a young couple\, Isabella and Charlie Tree\, who in the 1980s inherit Knepp\, a failing\, four-hundred-year-old farmed estate. By the end of the 1990s\, facts must be faced: the farm isn’t working\, and they are £1.5m in debt. The land is dying\, the soil reduced to sterile dirt\, with plummeting biodiversity levels. Battling entrenched tradition\, the couple dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature\, with an ambitious rewilding project inspired by the thinking of European ecologists like Frans Vera. \nRipping down the fences\, and hoping to renew the growth of mycorrhizal fungi deep in the soil\, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe. \nOver time\, the soil replenishes itself – with a little help from some charming pigs – and the miraculous return of rare species like the purple emperor butterfly\, white stork and turtle doves\, who make their homes at Knepp. \nIt is a transformation far in excess of anything anyone could have dreamed of\, captured in intimate detail by five time Emmy Award-winning documentarian David Allen and multi- BAFTA & Emmy Award winning cinematographers Tim Cragg and Simon de Glanville. \n\nWatch the trailer here\n \n \n\n\nThere will be a live panel discussion after the film with time for Q&A. \n\nNatasha (Tash) Somers\, co-founder of Pocket Wilding\, a new charity that helps more urban communities appropriately regenerate pockets of land – no matter how small or big. Professionally Tash works with people on their land\, encouraging them to find a place of peace and connection with it and to help move them into a role of custodian by improving the land’s health and biodiversity.\nSally Rankin\, leader of Greener Henley’s Wildlife Group\, has dedicated over 30 years to protecting and restoring nature in and around Henley. The group focuses on creating a mosaic of habitats for wildlife at various locations\, including Mill and Marsh Meadows\, Valley Road Chalk Bank\, Gillotts Field\, and the Greys Road Embankment.\nStephen Doble\, fourth generation farmer at Shiplake Farm and is passionate about farming in a way that balances food production with caring for the environment. Over 25 acres of the farm is dedicated to encouraging biodiversity\, particularly farmland birds and pollinating insects.\nHilary Glew\, volunteer with the Upper Thames branch of Butterfly Conservation and member of the of the local Wildlife Trust BBOWT and the RSPB. Hilary leads guided walks around local nature reserves and woods to spot butterflies and birds. Hilarys aim is to see all 62 Butterfly species in the UK and has a few still to see.\n\n\nBook your tickets here:\n\n\nStandard ticket prices apply. \nThere will be an introduction to the film at 8.00pm\, with the film itself running 8.10pm – 9.25pm\, followed by a 45min Q&A. \nThis event promises to be an inspiring screening and conversation on finding a deeper respect for nature and ecosystems and the approaches we can take to change traditional farming practices and reduce pesticide use\, rethinking our interactions with the world around us. Come join the discussion! \nFind out about all the events happening at Henley’s Great Big Green Week 2024 here.
