Common Ground: Cat and Dog Pond
Viewers interested in modern Documentary cinema often explore Common Ground: Cat and Dog Pond because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
Five years ago, Nick and Mark received permission to excavate an old pond on Wanstead Flats, the southernmost part of Epping Forest in Leytonstone, East London. This area has a rich history of activism, with past protests here credited for helping launch the UK’s conservation movement and the Right to Roam. After clearing away the reeds and rubbish they created a thriving aquatic ecosystem where frogs and newts now breed. This film is part of Common Ground, a multimedia documentary project exploring the ecology of Wanstead Flats and the people who use it.
