A Piece of the Moon

Have you ever looked up at the Moon and thought: 'I want to own a piece of that'? Thousands of Britons have. Cornish businessman Francis P. Williams has sold over 280,000 acres (1,100 km2) of it in Britain, at around £20 a pop. But does Francis really own the moon? And why do so many people want to "own" a rock in the sky that they can't even get to? For First Cut, new directors James Price and Lenka Clayton travelled the country to tell the stories of some of the ordinary people who've bought land on the Moon and the businessman who's sold it to them.
