HEALING WEEDS
‘Healing Weeds’, a short documentary produced as part of my Wildlife Filmmaking MA course.
Ignored, downtrodden, or eradicated: weeds are an ill-favoured, unavoidable part of our landscape. But most people are unaware of their powerful, healing properties. On a mission to change that is forager and herbalist, Maria Fernandez Garcia. Join Maria on a foraging journey through an urban woodland, to discover what natural gifts can be found growing in the most unexpected of places and the benefits of reconnecting with nature.
Featuring: MARIA FERNANDEZ GARCIA (Healing Weeds); Producer/Director: JO DAVENPORT; Second Camera: JEFF YOUNG & EMI KONDO; Executive Producer: PETER VENN; In association with: THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST OF ENGLAND.
