Putting ideas into practice has been an important part of his approach. Dumfries House in Ayrshire has been renovated and turned into a training centre in a part of Scotland hit badly by the closure of local coal mines.
The film shows how this project has become an important local asset and economic driver, providing jobs and skills, training 10,000 people a year.
Highgrove, a quirky and characterful house in Gloucestershire, that seems allergic to straight lines, has become a living laboratory for his organic gardening and farming techniques.
The King is seen in Highgrove feeding chickens and collecting eggs, in a shed called Cluckingham Palace.
He also gives a glimpse of the outside of his “sanctuary”, a private place for his own personal reflection. Reflecting his deep interest in religion and spirituality, above the door is inscribed the prayer: “Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord.”
The inclusivity of his beliefs are also suggested as we see him at a fire ceremony, alongside indigenous peoples wearing elaborate headdresses, at an inaugural “Harmony Summit” last summer.
