The film has been selected as part of a United Nations Sustainable Development Goals commitment at the world’s biggest sustainability film festival. The festival runs from 16 to 25 October and screens finalist and official selection films free online at bigsyn.org. Special mentions and winners will be announced at a gala awards ceremony at Curzon Soho in London on 6 November. 

Faye Treffry, Brand and Communications Manager at Cornwall Wildlife Trust said:  

“We are delighted to hear that our new film is a finalist in these awards. Working with the brilliant team at Bull & Wolf, we wanted to tell the story of who we are at Cornwall Wildlife Trust and inspire more people to see how they can get involved and help make a difference. At its core, the film is a call to arms, nature is in trouble and needs our help, and we can all make a difference.”  

Voiced by the charismatic Kernow King, the film shows both the beauty of Cornwall and the threats facing the natural world. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Cornwall Wildlife Trust's own State of Nature report, published in 2020, found that nature is largely in decline in Cornwall. It reported that 12% of species of principal importance are threatened with local extinction or complete loss in the county, and that nearly half of terrestrial mammals and three-fifths of butterflies are found in fewer places than 30 years ago. 

As well as being a finalist, the film will also be screened at WTW cinemas in Truro, Newquay, Wadebridge and St Austell from Friday 16 October, running through October and November, thanks to support from the cinema group.  

Faye said: 

"When we saw the first cut of the new film, we knew it would look amazing on the big screen. It's a cinematic piece which we hope people across Cornwall will love, and we can't wait for it to screen across the WTW cinemas group. We're really grateful to the team there for their support."
