Directing this film has been one of the great experiences of my life, the Douro is one of the wonders of the world that should be seen at least once in a lifetime, and Portugal is a country that deserves to be much better known.

The (partial) making-off of Life on the Douro in (about) 1,000 pics


My good friend Zev Robinson must be finishing the documentary "Life on the Douro" by now...
This is a little tease with pictures that I took while I was with him in Portugal earlier this year working in the documentary.



Here the version with a Portuguese soundtrack
