People of the Wind
“There are two hundred miles of impassable mountains to cross. There are no towns, no roads, no bridges. There is no turning back.”
Synopsis
The Bakhtiari migration is one of the most hazardous tests of human endurance known to mankind. Every year, 500,000 men, women and children — along with one million animals — struggle for eight grueling weeks to scale the massive Zagros Mountains — a range which is as high as the Alps and as broad as Switzerland — to reach their summer pastures.
