When we went to England, I really, really wanted to see this film, however, it is in very limited release. 

It was filmed in Dorset, the county where Steve's parents live, and where we spent most of the week.  The Cerne Abbas Giant is only about 15 minutes from their house, and we went for a visit.  However, didn't climb up the hill, but had a good view of him.

The filming company is also in Dorset, and the showings have been limited to selected cities in their town halls.  I contacted them to mention that I had no luck finding a location showing the movie while we were there, and they responded that they are trying to find a national distributor and also an international distributer.

In Squires Tavern, Welsh Wench posted this address:

You can sign a petition asking for it to come to this country.  It looks like a great movie.
