My husband and I just watched Dare to Be Wild on Netflix.
Here is the trailer:
Here is the IMDB listing - BUT don't go there if you hate spoilers, because the title description has a spoiler right in it! What a bad idea. chuckle:
Dare to Be Wild feature film on IMDB - has immediate spoiler
And here is an article interviewing the subject of the movie, Mary Reynolds, one of (or possibly
the) youngest competitors in the Chelsea Flower show.
Telegraph interview of Mary Reynolds - contains spoilers
So Mary Reynolds is not the permaculturist exactly, though you might call her an instinctive one. The co-star in the tale is the permaculturist as I saw it - Christy Collard of the UK. In the film, the word
permaculture is not mentioned, but I think it's obvious.
I don't want to give anything away in this first post. We thought it was really good. Please post comments below if you watch it. Also, if you know of any other movies/books/stories (but not documentaries, as there are already threads for those) with
permaculture in them, could you post? I love a good list... The only other thing I can think of at the moment is Dune. :-D
