Shropshire Independent Cinema is a partnership founded in 2025 to curate fun and inspiring film-led events for our local communities and culturally curious visitors. Ludlow Assembly Rooms, Old Market Hall, Wem Town Hall and Wellington Orbit work with each other, local artists, young people and our partners to hand-pick films and events that express the historically independent spirit of our region. The Rural Remix, 11-13 July, is our first joint creation, showcasing our take on rural life and landscape on screen.
One of our partners for this event is Ludlow Green Festival who have scheduled this film for Friday night before their event on Sunday 13th.
“This year’s theme to the Ludlow Green Festival is ‘Food for Thought’ there will be many activities on the day that touch on all aspects of sustainable food. We’ve chosen to show the film ‘Six Inches of Soil’ during the Rural Remix as it highlights the importance of regenerative food production for the local food sector. Tish Dockerty, Chair of Ludlow 21 will introduce Ed Rollings, who farms at Perry Wood Farm in Kimbolton; raising sheep and beef cattle in a low input system with regenerative agriculture principles at it’s heart.”
Ludlow Green Festival takes place on Sunday 13th July 10-4pm
Six Inches of Soil, tells the story of remarkable farmers, communities, small businesses, chefs and entrepreneurs who are leading the way to transform how our food is produced and consumed.
Agroecology is an approach to farming that includes ‘regenerative’ farming techniques that work in harmony with, rather than against nature. It focuses on local food systems and shorter supply chains. The advantages are numerous: we get to know who is growing our food and how, farmers get paid a fair price and have the satisfaction of producing healthy food in a healthy environment. Agroecology may also be our best chance in the face of climate change: it keeps carbon in the ground and creates resilient systems in the face of climate uncertainty.
Six Inches of Soil tells the inspiring story of young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food – to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.
