A new independent film shot in Sussex follows textile artist Allan Brown who spent seven years making a dress by hand just from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles. It’s how Allan survives the passing of his wife and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her. The Nettle Dress follows Allan's journey through seasons and years, foraging, spinning, weaving, cutting and sewing the cloth, before finally sharing a healing vision of the dress back in the woods where the nettles were picked, worn by one of his daughters. A labour of love in the truest sense, Amanny Mo caught up with the award-winning director Dylan Howitt.
