The Last Keeper (Digital Cinema Event - Panel Discussion)

KILLING THE SHEPHERD: THE LAST KEEPER

When Progress Becomes Erasure.

In the remote glens of Scotland, a quiet war is unfolding.

For centuries, rural families—keepers, stalkers, ghillies, and crofters—have lived and worked on the land. They’ve shaped it, protected it, passed it down. Today, they’re being erased.

Urban politicians, distant corporations chasing carbon credits, and rewilding activists with no stake in the land have a different vision: remove the people, let nature reclaim itself. But for those still clinging to the soil, this isn’t conservation—it’s displacement dressed as progress.

What happens when centuries of knowledge are pushed aside in favor of policy built in cities?

What’s lost when cultural survival is no longer convenient?

The Last Keeper confronts these questions head-on. Echoing the Highland Clearances of the past, it asks: is cultural genocide returning under a modern banner?
