WAY OF THE MORRIS DVD

As quintessentially homegrown as a game of cricket or a plate of fish-and-chips, Morris dancing is one of England s most ancient roots traditions. And yet to your average man on the street, it s seen as little more than a national joke. And a bad national joke at that. Something to ridicule. Something to be embarrassed about.

A heartfelt ode to his agrarian roots, WAY OF THE MORRIS follows filmmaker Tim Plester on a deeply personal journey from the barleyfields of his childhood to the killing fields of The Somme, in search of a connection with these much-maligned native dances that run deep in his bloodline. Featuring contributions from iconic singer/songwriter Billy Bragg and Fairport Convention s Chris Leslie.
