  • Watch Online / Life on the Douro (2011)



    Desc: Life on the Douro: Directed by Zev Robinson. Life on the Douro is a documentary about 300 years of history with direct ties to the current situation of wine production in Porto and the Douro valley. It is the result of 45 days of filming over the course of 15 months, creating the best possible film with a strong narrative and visual impact, capturing everything from the buildings and warehouses in Gaia and Porto to the Douro vineyards, to various aspects of wine making, to the landscapes and river in all four seasons. Twenty eight people were interviewed, including many key figures, about the development, present situation and future of the region. Many spoke in intimate detail about their centuries-long family histories, and Life on the Douro has now captured that oral history.
