And Then Come the Nightjars

In rural Devon during the 2001 Foot and Mouth outbreak, a farmer faces the loss of his precious herd when a local vet is assigned to carry out the cull. As the crisis reshapes their lives and community, the two men form an unlikely friendship built on grief, duty and the need to endure. Adapted from Bea Roberts’ stage play, the film follows a story of survival in a time of upheaval.
