Mountains In Harmony

In "Mountains in Harmony: Natural and Human Treasures", we embark on a captivating journey through the awe-inspiring heights that define our most iconic landscapes. This documentary goes beyond simple mountain exploration; it is a tribute to the interconnectedness of nature and humanity.
We interview geographers and science communicators who unravel the geological secrets of these towering formations, revealing how they have shaped not only our environment, but also our cultures. Biologists and climate change experts shed light on the unique biodiversity that flourishes at these heights and the vulnerability of these ecosystems to global change. By immersing ourselves in the lives of mountaineers and rural villagers, we capture their stories of resilience, connection to the land and the struggle to preserve their traditional ways of life. Landscape, flora and fauna photographers give us breathtaking views, showing the sublime beauty of these regions and highlighting the urgent need to conserve them.

Director Statement

Documentary film is a great tool for bearing witness to what is happening around us, to the things that concern us, to the times in which we live. Thanks to documentaries we are able to carry messages and tell stories that help others to understand and at the same time help others to understand the importance of the challenges we face as a society.

Mountains in Harmony is an example of how those who know the mountains best, study and preserve them, warn us of the vital importance of their care and respect, in order to survive as a society. A society that is becoming increasingly dehumanised and whose economic, political and personal interests take precedence over environmental interests.
