Brian May: The Badger Cull and Me

Duration: 1 x 52'

Contact Sales Collection: Animal

Four years in the making, this thought-provoking film follows Queen guitarist Brian May as he campaigns to prove that badgers are not behind the spread of bovine TB.

Over the past few years, Brian has sponsored research into the true causes through his wildlife trust. This documentary brings both sides of the debate together as Brian takes his case to a sceptical farming community in a bid to stop the cull and help cure the disease.

This all access one-off tells a complex story which polarises communities and looks to bring both sides of the argument together and find the best solution for the animals and the farmers.
