What Is People of the Wind About?
The premise of People of the Wind without spoilers.
To cross 200 miles of impassable mountains, the Bakhtiari follow a route with no towns, roads or bridges and no turning back. Each year half a million people and a million livestock endure an eight‑week trek across the Zagros range— as high as the Alps and as broad as Switzerland to reach summer pastures, one of humanity’s toughest migrations.
