The Down to Earth Collective is thrilled to announce that its award-winning documentary, DOWN to EARTH will be released in UK cinemas from 14th September and will celebrate its UK Premiere at Picturehouse Central on 11th September presented by Mark Rylance.
DOWN to EARTH follows a London family, breaking away from society to find a new perspective on life. For five years, travelling six continents, parents Renata Heinen and Rolf Winters and their 3 children aged 10, 7 and 6 go on a journey of discovery to capture the wisdom of the 'Earth Keepers'.
They find indigenous communities who have retained a natural balance and live in harmony with their surroundings, far removed from the technologically focused cultures of today. There is no crew, no production team, just one backpack and camera each.
Many of the 'Earth Keepers' featured in the documentary were hesitant to be on film but as the family lived alongside them, a mutual trust grew and they embraced the idea. Having lived in hiding for centuries, they saw that now is the time to step forward and share their insights with those who are ready to listen. Their messages portray a way of living that shares a clear and transcendent vision of life on planet Earth, unaffected by man-made laws.
