Guadalquivir

Guadalquivir, the second longest river in Spain, is more than a river. The documentary Guadalquivir, with narration from Flamenco singer, Estrella Morente, is a spectacular voyage by way of impactful images of the river banks that run along the unique natural spaces of Spain in each distinct season of the year. Guadalquivir follows the path of a fox through the natural parks of Cazorla, Sierra Morena, and Doñana, setting out on a journey towards the south, motivated by its primal instincts of survival.
