FROM RIGHT TO ROAM — KINDER RISING

Can't see this message? View in browser   Revisit Kinder Rising in Our New Short Film Earlier this year, we marked the anniversary of the iconic Kinder Mass Trespass with Kinder Rising, a day of talks, music, workshops, and a mass rally, culminating in a joyful swim trespass at Kinder Reservoir. It was a bold celebration of how far we’ve come, and a reminder of how much work still lies ahead. Now, we’re thrilled to share a film that brings that day, and that feeling, to life. In the film, we meet two everyday people whose passions connect them to the outdoors, proving that you don’t have to consider yourself an activist to care about nature and access rights. These issues affect us all. Jo took us for a swim in Kinder Reservoir, then welcomed us into her home to talk about what it feels like to be immersed in nature. For her, swimming isn’t just exercise, it’s a way of finding calm and joy, of feeling connected to something bigger. Being in the water gives her a deep sense of belonging, a reminder that nature is not just a backdrop to our lives but something we’re a part of. Alex has always been drawn to adventure. He once thought the army might offer that path, but instead found it through bushcraft, tracking, and walking in the hills. On Kinder Scout, he reflects on how the land supports our mental health, how much it can teach us if we’re willing to listen, and why freedom to roam matters. Together, their stories, interwoven with footage from the Kinder Rising event, carry forward the spirit of Kinder, people coming together to stand up for our right to the land and water, and remind us why protecting access still matters today. This event could not have been possible without the hard work of all those involved from our dedicated local groups to the organisers and campaigners at The Outdoor Swimming Society and The Hatfield Kinder Trespass Group. A huge thank you to Crusoe, our wonderful filmmaker behind this project. His creativity, care, and dedication brought the day and its stories to life. Check out more of his work here, and follow him on social media here. Let’s keep the spirit of Kinder alive, and remember, access to nature should not be a privilege reserved for the few, but a right to be enjoyed by all. Please share the film, leave a comment, and let us know what it means to you.
