People of the Wind

Storyline

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.

"There are two hundred miles of impassable mountains to cross. There are no towns, no roads, no bridges. There is no turning back."
