Flamenco: The Land Is Still Fertile

Our mini-series uses extended footage of great performances along with short interviews with experts, on-location scenes, historical photos and re-enactments. We aim to shine a light on the excitement and emotional depth of flamenco while also examining where it comes from and asking profound questions about whether or not this traditional art form can survive in the modern world where the word "flamenco" is applied to other kinds of performance simply as a marketing tool. We look at flamenco's close connection to the land of its birth and to its historical linkage to tough occupations like farm work, as well as mining, fishing and fish-mongering (the selling of fish), and even to prisoners in jail. Weaving a rich story narrated by prize-winning, world-touring flamenco singer Antonio de la Malena, the viewer will be left with a deep understanding of a complex art, and an appreciation of its dramatic beauty and value.
