A Long Winter (documentary)

Innes spends another bleak winter in the Scottish Highlands, relentlessly killing deer. Over the past twenty years he has planted over a million trees, working towards a 200-year long vision. But he knows this landscape needs death if life is ever to return - and that he needs to play the role of predator.

A Long Winter is an observational documentary that explores what we’re willing to sacrifice to create a better future, even if we don’t personally benefit from it.

A BAFTA Scotland winning film, commissioned by Screen Scotland as part of the Scottish Documentary Institute’s Bridging The Gap for emerging directors and premiered at Edinburgh International Film Festival.
