Explorer, film maker and environmentalist Bruce Parry is heading to Llangollen Fringe Festival.
Parry (pictured) is a documentary filmmaker, best known for his BBC series Tribe which saw him living with indigenous peoples around the world, and thereafter his work about globalisation
and climate change.
More recently he switched from television to the big screen with his directorial debut, ’Tawai, a voice from the forest’ - his attempt to dive deeper into the heart
of what he had learned on his many years travelling the world.
The Fringe will be hosting a screening of that film on Sunday July 21 at the Town Hall, followed by an interview and Q&A with Parry.
Tawai is a word the nomadic hunter-gatherers of Borneo use to describe the connection they feel to their forest home.
In this dreamy, philosophical and sociological look at life, Parry embarks on an immersive odyssey to explore the different ways
that humans relate to nature and how this influences the way we create our societies.
From the forests of the Amazon and Borneo to the River Ganges and Isle of Skye, Tawai is a quest for re-connection, providing a powerful voice from the heart of the forest itself.
