Children of the Wind

Overview

In the village of Sabucedo, Spain, the Rapa das Bestas unfolds: a raw ritual where villagers and wild horses collide in a test of strength and memory. Seven years in the making, Fillos do Vento: A RAPA places viewers inside the curro, where dust, breath and tension blur the line between tradition and extinction. A modern-day Quixote story, as wind-farms creep over the surrounding hills, the work challenges audiences to feel the fight for cultural survival in an age of rapid change. This documentary is not meant to be watched but inhabited, a sensorial call to witness what is at stake when culture, nature and modernity collide.
