    Lookerer

    Lookerer

    30 minute film

    The film documents the role of a ‘lookerer’ (an assistant shepherd) as he undertakes his duties, ensuring the flock is fit and well, and protected from danger. Perhaps surprisingly, reciprocal rewards and a sense of wellbeing gently unfold, revealing a close affinity between lookerer and sheep, and a sense of fulfilment for the lookerer.
