FIRES OVER ENGLAND

When the Foot and Mouth epidemic hit Britain in 2001 it seemed like nothing could stop it. The government slaughtered millions of animals and we could even smell the smoke from burning pyres in our classrooms. Friends were stuck on their farms, the countryside was closed and the tourism industry was badly hit. Scared and angry, we were determined to find out all we could about Foot and Mouth disease. The more we researched, the more we learned about how fear about Foot and Mouth created far more damage than the disease itself. "Fires Over England" is about communication and sharing knowledge. Dialogue is essential in order to create real security and to protect our way of live in rural England.
