Derek vs Derek

The Assembly Rooms, Presteigne

(2026 88 mins 15+)

Two neighbouring Devon farmers, both called Derek, go to war over the future of their land in this funny and timely documentary. One is an advocate for intensive farming; the other is giving his entire farm over to nature, rewilding it into an oasis for wildlife. Tempers fray, wild animals escape, and the land between them is transformed, all while the two Dereks butt heads over what the English countryside should look like and who gets to decide. The tension between rewilding and traditional agriculture has never felt more urgent, and the film finds its way into that conversation through a neighbourly dispute that just happens to share a name on both sides of the fence.

“Derek vs Derek is a funny and warm movie, packed to the brim with English humour, hope and vitality, demonstrating that, despite life on Earth being in crisis, there is still hope for change.”  Nina Ossavy -Modern Times Review

We hope to have a brief discussion after the film.
