Boggart

In Cumbrian folklore, the boggart is a mysterious and mischievous creature that roams the countryside. In this spoken word film, poet Matt Sowerby reimagines the boggart as both product and protector of a peat bog. Part of ‘Peat on Earth’, a series of 10 spoken word films by British and Malaysian poets and filmmakers that showcases one of nature’s true underdogs: the humble peat bog. These incredible habitats have had a bad rap over the years – but they’re beautiful, unique and just might save the world. By Ben Horrigan
