A film about two neighbouring Devon farmers warring over their land is coming to Presteigne

The film Derek vs Derek will be shown in Presteigne this month.

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.

It will be shown at The Assembly Rooms in Presteigne on Sunday, November 22 at 3.30pm with doors open at 3pm.

This 2026 film runs for 88 minutes and is classified as a 15+ film

It is hoped to have a brief discussion after the film.
