Captivating short documentary about the successful people-powered campaign to create public access land at Tenants Hill and Mount Carvey, near Cissbury Ring, West Sussex. Many people gave up a lot of their time in order to pursue the goal of enshrining in law that this land should stay in public ownership and become ?Open Access?, so that everyone can enjoy the right to roam in perpetuity. It took 6 years, but the final outcome was a win for all ? for the people who love the area, Worthing Town and yes also the Council! So the Worthing Downlanders invite you to join us in celebrating the journey we undertook to achieve this success story. This documentary film also seeks to inspire others to take on environmental issues by challenging the mindset of politicians and local authorities through positive action.

What a beautiful film! So gracefully arching between the determined and marvelous campaign to protect this lovely part of the Downs, and the mystical, timeless, spiritually inspiring, exquisite beauty and necessity of the hill and all the life it nourishes. The birds eye views, the light, the seasons in all their glory... If you weren't in love with the Downs before, you will be after watching this. If you hadn't felt their beauty stir your soul, you will. A necessary, honouring, loving piece of film making. Everyone who knows the Downs should watch it. And everyone who hasn't yet discovered how precious and nourishing are those hills should immerse themselves in this films lovely, life affirming, heart filled story. Thanks to all at Maat Films
