The Sheep Detectives 🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🧐 (PG) 109min
FINAL 7pm Saturday 18th July
The perfect family film for the end of the holidays.

The film follows George Hardy (Jackman), a shepherd who loves his sheep and raises them only for their wool. Every night he reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand, never suspecting that not only can they understand but they argue for hours afterwards about whodunnit. When George is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The local cop Tim Derry (Braun), on the other hand, has never solved a serious crime in his life, so the sheep conclude they will have to solve it themselves, even if it means leaving their meadow for the first time and facing the fact that the human world isn’t as simple as it appears in books.

The documentary captures the grit and heart of women's club rugby, featuring players from the Southern and Clifton Rugby Clubs alongside international Sevens superstar Michaela Blyde. It explores the emotional weight of playing a rough-and-tumble sport in rural communities, where the pitch is often viewed as a battlefield requiring strength, resilience, and unyielding focus.
