Story

This documentary follows Stijn, one of the Netherlands' last traditional shepherds, as he navigates the challenges of keeping an ancient profession alive. Working with his three dogs, Stijn guides his flock across nature reserves and farmland, using grazing as an ecological tool. However, the modern world presents mounting difficulties—commercial competition, cheaper labour from abroad, and mechanisation threaten the viability of his livelihood and way of life.
