The wild side of London in a uniquely immersive documentary at the Close Up Cinema, top of Brick Lane.

Part of the series of screenigs in cities along the course of the Thames River all the way to the estuary and the North Sea.

Shot over four years, across all seasons and from land, sea and sky, London's Last Wilderness reimagines the Greater Thames Estuary and its tributaries as a vast, living "alien" ecosystem, seen through the eyes of a visitor from another planet. By giving the region's waters the personality of a living being, the film presents a powerful and original case for protecting one of England's most overlooked natural environments: its waters
