In case you were wondering, it was Linzi Drew, the former glamour-model and top-shelf magazine editor, who once said that you should try everything in life once. Everything that is; "except for incest and Morris dancing".

Featuring contributions from Billy Bragg and Fairport Convention’s Chris Leslie, WAY OF THE MORRIS is a quirky and heartfelt observational film about what it means to be English, and male. And about what it means to honour the past.

We follow actor and award winning filmmaker Tim Plester, who hails from a Morris dancing family, as he tries to understand his own place in The Morris, and, in turn, its place in our nation’s ongoing story.

Way of the Morris was one of 8 bursary winners from fourdocs in 2008.
