TicketsMarch 2-6 – In the mountains of Portugal, amidst the stunning, timeless vineyards of the Douro Valley lies the heart and soul of Old World winemaking. Once a year a divine ritual begins, the harvesting of the season’s grapes by the generations-old families who pick, carry and stomp their way through September with blood-red feet, stained by grape juice. Celebrating tradition over mythology, “A Wonderful Kingdom” is an homage to these hard-working folks – they are the lifeblood that flows through the rocks of the region. Set to the prose of iconic poet Miguel Torga with an English version narrated by iconic British actor Malcolm McDowell and Portuguese-version narrated by matriarch Simone de Oliveira, this hypnotic, observational documentary unfurls across the epic beauty and austerity of both nature and humanity.
