Savouring Dorset (working title) will be a documentary about the state of the UK’s food and farming industries at this critical time in Britain’s history. These two combined sectors of food production are financially larger than the aerospace and the car industries. The film will show different sectors of the industry from small to large arable farming, dairy, fruit and vegetable growing and will offer an overview linking farming and food production (for instance cheese and bread making) to the state of the countryside’s flora, fauna and soil, to the state of markets and regulations - to the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. It will concentrate on West Dorset but have far broader relevance.
HOME IN BRIDPORT is developing this because it will service the culture, the heritage and the economy of the community as did the first SAVOURING WEST DORSET. We are hoping to raise sufficient funds to make an hour and a half documentary which will have appeal beyond the region of West Dorset.
