A New Kind of Wilderness is one of the most moving docs I have seen in years - a tale of grief, alternative living and the challenge of holding onto your ideals. And the Payne family’s choice to go off grid chimed with my own odd, albeit more suburban childhood. www.thetimes.com/article/0f22...

Our family lived off-grid in the forest — then Mum died

A new documentary follows a British couple and their four children as they deal with grief, loss and home-schooling. Will Hodgkinson meets them now
