The Wild Mountain
Documentary
A team of ornithologists is trying to unravel the mystery of the thousands of storks that have stopped migrating in recent years. We’re in the heart of the Alentejo, on a landfill where these birds feed. On a neighboring farm, an archaeologist tells us how humans lived 8000 years ago through newly discovered remains.
