Coming soon - A Dairy Story

Documentary Feature

Every day, thousands of dairy calves are separated from their mothers at birth. One Scottish farm risks everything to prove there's another way.

Synopsis

This moving documentary feature follows Wilma and David Finlay as they challenge dairy farming's most controversial practice: separating calves from their mothers at birth.

Filmed over two years, we witness their determination to reinvent dairy farming by putting nature and animal welfare first. When Wilma receives a terminal cancer diagnosis, their mission takes on new urgency.

This thought-provoking micro-budget documentary shows how changing a farming system changes everything; from the lives of the animals to the wellbeing of the farmers, and perhaps even the future of dairy farming itself.
