5. The Urban/Rural Divide
Anna Jones grew up on a farm but has spent most of her adult life living in cities. She sees the urban/rural divide from both sides.
The British countryside is often portrayed as a green and pleasant land - a rural idyll. But under the surface, rural culture wars rage: the Right to Roam, veganism, rewilding.
Anna Jones is a farmer鈥檚 daughter who has worked as a rural affairs journalist for almost 20 years. In this series she uncovers the personal stories of individuals caught up in these battle grounds.
In this episode Anna gets personal and explores her own journey across the urban/rural divide. Why did she long for the city when her parents stayed on the farm? And does this cultural division contribute to the other culture wars covered throughout the series?
