STRANGEST VILLAGE IN BRITAIN

Channel 4

Botton Village – high on the North Yorkshire Moors – is a unique community of 300 people, around half of them with special needs like autism and Down’s syndrome. This touching and sometimes funny film, made with unusually free access from Botton, follows four villagers over the course of a cold winter.
