The Bough Breaks explores the work of visionary conservationist, Alan Watson Featherstone; his regeneration of Scotland's ancient Caledonian forest and rewilding as a successful model of restoration, to tackle the environmental crises we face today.
Alan Watson Featherstone's is one of the major pioneers of Rewilding. His visionary approach to restoring habitats, has become a blueprint for many of the major conservation projects underway today, in the UK and beyond. His extraordinary commitment is coupled with a disarming humility and spirituality; captured in the reflective and meditative atmosphere of this moving film. Forty years ago, he realised that his generation were probably the last that could save Scotland's ancient Caledonian forest. He soon decided that despite no previous experience in conservation and no personal resources, he was the man who would have to make that happen.
