Wikipedia article




'Far from the Trees' is a documentary film by Spanish artist and director Jacinto Esteva Grew. Shot in 1963, it was held up for nine years before its release in 1972.

A documentary told as a travelogue and intent on exposing the intense poverty of areas of Spain outside of the touristic eye, 'Far from the Trees' is considered by some a successor to Luis Buuel's 'Land Without Bread'. As a political statement, the film is a protest to the image of a newly modernized Spain being promoted by Franco.
