Experiencing Interruptions?

ZENNOR SPIRIT OF PLACE

The 60 minute documentary explores the personal and political dramas which followed the arrival of the disreputable writer D.H.Lawrence and his German wife Frieda von Richthofen in the ancient village of Zennor during the First World War. The wild landscape and remote cottages around Zennor became host to scores of infamous artists, poets, eccentrics and occultists who lived, loved and wreaked havoc in this mystical place. Throughout the 20th century sublime art was created amid a backdrop of witchcraft, scandalous sexual intrigue, black magic rituals and Nazi spy rings.
