This film is a real-life precursor to the King Kong story in which Cooper and Schoedsack (who would make King Kong eight years later) are accompanied by a woman on a dangerous adventure. Inspired by Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North (1922), Cooper and Schoedsack filmed the migration of more than 50 000 Bakhtiari people taking their herds from the Persian Gulf to the greener pastures of the Central Persian Plateau. The tribes’ struggle to traverse near-unsurpassable terrain is captured in breathtaking sequences. Age recommendation: All ages 6.30pm Sun 20 Nov | |
