Boulder - the film

This film is all about a glacial erratic found in Manchester close to the Whitworth Art Gallery. It was removed and repositioned 500 meteres away in the Univerity of Manchester's Quadrangle.... where the boulder was placed in an upright position, like a 'standing stone.

The film (a documentary) asked for three points of view as to the origins of the boulder and if it had made any difference to the people living and working in the area. A Psycho-geographer, an Earth Healer and a Geomancer present their findings.
