The Eagle with the Sunlit Eye
Winner Best Environment Film, Banff Mountain Film Festival 2023; Winner People’s Choice, Kendal Mountain Festival 2023 Persecuted to extinction in Britain, the white-tailed eagle was brought back to our wild edges in the 1970s. However, an uneasy relationship with one of the world’s largest birds of prey remains, with accusations of livestock killings surfacing from Scotland’s rural community and a war of words raging over the future of this great eagle. Pulling back the curtain on the reintroduction process, combining breathtaking visuals with heart stopping action, and even turning the cameras onto the filmmakers themselves, this sweeping documentary asks whether we will ever learn to live alongside the eagle with the sunlit eye. Includes online Q&A with director, Ted Simpson. Auditorium, Eastgate Theatre Tickets are Pay-What-You-Decide £14 or £10 or £6 with Ted Simpson
