Eric Ravilious was killed whilst working as Official War Artist in a plane crash in 1942. His life was as enigmatic as his artworks. This documentary brings to life the work of a unique and amazing talent and is told in Ravilious’ own words through previously unseen private correspondence.
"Exhilarating, enthralling and outstandingly beautiful. A revelation.”

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
