Filmmaker Emily Railsback and award-winning sommelier Jeremy Quinn journey to the Republic of Georgia, thought to be the birthplace of wine, to explore the renewal of 8,000-year-old winemaking traditions all but lost during the period of Soviet rule. Providing intimate access to rural family life and ancestral legacies of modern Georgian winemakers through immersive iPhone photography, Railsback reveals an intricate and resilient society that has survived regular foreign invasion and repeated attempts to eradicate Georgian culture. The revival of traditional winemaking techniques unique to Georgia is the central force driving this proudly independent nation to forge its 21st century identity.
