Hunt Saboteurs
The Hunt Saboteurs are the shock troops of the Anti-Blood-Sports movement. They aim to create havoc at the hunt by confusing hounds, enraging the huntsmen and enabling the fox to escape.
At the centre of this documentary film are the events of a winter's day in the Sussex countryside. A group of saboteurs are out to ' hit' the local hunt.
This is a parable of mutual incomprehension, of a difference in philosophy and lifestyle so profound that neither side appears to speak the same language.

The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky....
