Tower People: The Last Medieval Society That Still Exists | The Svans

This documentary explores the Svans, a Georgian mountain people living a seemingly idyllic, medieval lifestyle in the remote region of Svaneti. Despite breathtaking landscapes and ancient traditions—such as farming without engines, fortress towers, and ritual sacrifices—the Svans face profound change in the new millennium. Amid growing emigration and global influences, they strive to preserve their unique language, culture, and identity while navigating the tension between tradition and modernity.
