The Wild Defending Itself

After a period of activism fatigue, Vincent Verzat immersed himself in wildlife observation and tracking, seeking to repopulate his day-to-day life with its non-human inhabitants. From the running forest battles of the Millevaches plateau to the den of a badger family, via the much protested mega-water basins of Poitou, the stags of the Vercors and the controversial A69 motorway project, this film is as much a journey as it is a hand extended between worlds that rarely, if ever, meet. Based on a personal and sensitive story, the film is the link between wild animals and the struggles being waged throughout France against the destruction of their habitats.
