Gaucho Gaucho: Argentina’s Last Ranchers
A Storyville documentary that follows the lives of Argentina’s gauchos (cowboys and cowgirls), who proudly preserve their traditions in a fast-changing world.\n\nThey travel on horseback, accompanied by their dogs, moving their cattle across stunning landscapes. Their handmade clothing - woollen ponchos, bombacha trousers and boina hats - are signs to the outside world that they remain unshackled by the bindings of modernity. \n\nThe film follows the lives of men and women of different ages, backgrounds and talents, who are all connected by their incredible bonds with their animals and their fight to remain free.
