The title track of Jon Hopkins’s 2013 LP Immunity is the theme music to this rewilding documentary, and it couldn’t be more fitting.

David Allen’s film recounts the decision by English couple ­Isabella Tree and Charlie ­Burrell to turn 1,400 hectares they inherited over to nature in 2002. In doing so, the farm’s degraded soils and biodiversity were brought back to life and made resilient for the first time in decades.
