Episode 1 - The New Peasants – Living Simply, Living Deeply
In this opening episode of Countdown to the Climate Action Festival, Christina Simkanin talks with filmmaker Antoinette Wilson about The New Peasants - an intimate portrait of a family who have spent two decades reimagining what it means to live well. The film follows Meg, Patrick, Zephyr, and Woody, who stepped away from modern industrial life to embrace a radically simple, sustainable, and community-centred way of living. Christina and Antoinette explore the inspiration behind the film, what it means to live “new peasant” values today, and how individual choices can add up to collective change. Catch The New Peasants at the 2025 Nelson Tasman Climate Action Festival, including a live Q&A with the featured family joining via Zoom from Australia.
