“Sometimes I think it’s people that need rewilding, not actually the great outdoors.”
Multi-award winning documentary takes on fiery debate around rewilding and red deer in the Scottish Highlands.
There are over 350,000 red deer in Scotland, and they have a massive impact on the landscapes of the Highlands. Deer are culled each year in an attempt to manage and maintain the landscape and ecosystem that they are a central part of. This is a responsibility undertaken by the people of the Highlands.
Over the last sixty years however, a debate has raged regarding the size, nature, and purpose of the deer cull. Our documentary questions whether deer should be protected, or whether the glens and mountains be returned to the wild...and if so, what happens to the people that call these places home?
The impact of this debate will change how people see, interact with and even inhabit the Scottish highlands — and the future of our wild places hang in the balance.
