Subject: RE: 'Way of the Morris' documentary film
And, according to today's Sidmouth newsletter, Way of the Morris is being screened during this year's festival:

"You may have heard about the new film by actor and filmmaker Tim Plester called Way of the Morris. It's a beautiful film about Tim learning to embrace his heritage as the son of a morris dancing family. Along the way it uncovers the impact of the First World War on rural communities and their traditions, as the Adderbury Village Morris Men go to the Somme to dance for all the boys of the village side who never came home.

Way of the Morris is not yet on release in Britain, but we're delighted to announce that we will be screening the film and conducting a Q&A with the filmmakers at Sidmouth FolkWeek."
