Eerie and menacing, yet hauntingly beautiful and highly evocative, the rugged Moor landscape has long fuelled our imagination, inspiring artists and poets, evoking images both terrifying and deeply romantic. It’s a land of contrasts: the wide open heaths, windswept and barren in winter, are transformed into wonderful carpets of white, fluffy cotton grass in summer while large bears and wolves roam alongside delicately fluttering butterflies, the bubbling calls of black grouse and the enchanting trills of the great snipe. The message of this stunningly beautiful film is clear: Save the moors, before it's too late.
