One Derek is an advocate for intensive farming; the other Derek is giving his entire farm over to nature, rewilding it into an oasis for wildlife. Tempers fray, wild animals escape, and the land between them is transformed, all the while they butt heads over what the English countryside should look like and who gets to decide. The tension between rewilding and traditional agriculture has never felt more urgent, and DEREK VS DEREK finds its way into that conversation through a neighbourly dispute that just happens to share a name on both sides of the fence.

James Dawson's delightful documentary allows each Derek his full and flawed humanity resulting in the rarest of unicorns - an environmental documentary that fills you with hope and leaves you with a smile on your face.
