Film director and actress Rachel Ward is not the first person you’d expect to join a farming revolution. In this triumphant film, Rachel voyages from wilful ignorance about the ecological impacts of conventional agriculture on her own rural property, to embracing a movement to restore the health of Australia’s farmland, food and climate.
Dear Canberra Community Organisations, Business & Farmers
We hope this finds you well. I am getting in touch because on Saturday 5th August, 2.30 pm at Palace Electric Cinema Canberra our new film Rachel’s Farm will be coming to your area for a special Q&A screening event with Rachel Ward and special guests Tanya Massey & Tony Hill, and we would love to collaborate with you on its release.
You can watch the trailer here, and learn more about the film here. Please use the link to the Supporter Kit for resources to help us promote the screening.

In Rachel’s Farm, director and actress Rachel Ward, who owns a farm in NSW with her husband Bryan Brown, journeys from ecological despair to finding hope in the soil beneath her feet through regenerative agriculture. It is produced by Wildbear Entertainment, New Town Films, with Damon Gameau and Anna Kaplan (the team behind 2040, That Sugar Film and Regenerating Australia) on board as EPs.
RACHEL’S FARM Q&A TOUR IN NSW, ACT & VIC BEGINS 25 JULY
From 25 July - 10 August Rachel’s Farm will tour NSW, ACT and VIC, with a series of special screening events featuring a Q&A with Rachel Ward and noteworthy guests including Bryan Brown, Joost Bakker, Dani Valent, Monique Ryan MP, Cheralyn Darcey, Maree Lowes and more!
We would love your support to promote the Q&A screening event in Saturday 5th August, 2.30 pm at Palace Electric Cinema Canberra, featuring special guests.
NATIONAL CINEMA RELEASE FROM 3 AUGUST
Beyond the Q&A tour, we would love your support to rally behind and amplify the cinema release which begins on 3 August in NSW, ACT, QLD, NT, SA and TAS, and 10 August in VIC. At the moment only a limited number of cinemas are programming the film with only a few sessions in the first week.
You can help us secure more screens and better sessions by contacting your local cinema to ask if they are programming the film. If they are, asking them to program more sessions at better times will help send a message that there is local interest in the film. Please let us know if you’d like to help in this way and we will send you some talking points for contacting the cinema.
FURTHER COLLABORATION
We would welcome the opportunity to help spread the word about your activities that are aligned with the Rachel’s Farm messages of healing our food systems and climate. Please let us know if there’s any way we can support your work by sharing information on The Regenerators website.
Once the film has finished its cinema release in late August it will be available for community, educational and corporate screenings and engagement activities. If you are interested in hosting a screening of the film or collaborating on activities that utilise the film to further your goals, please get in contact with us to discuss the options.
Thank you for your support, we look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Kate East
