The Hunt is the first documentary to explore, from the inside, the increasingly secretive, complex and fascinating world of English foxhunting set against the background of public outcry for the banning of this blood sport. The film follows the Ludlow Hunt in middle England over a full season.

Never before has a film crew been given such access to the workings of a hunt. The result is a shocking, at times moving, document which reveals incidents like the shooting of redundant hounds, the digging out and killing of foxes. Supported by a resonant score, this observational documentary will baffle you with its honesty, superb photography and its controversial images of a “sport” which, increasingly, has become a political issue.
