Our Blood Is Wine plot
Filmmaker Emily Railsback and award-winning sommelier Jeremy Quinn provide intimate access to rural family life in the Republic of Georgia as they explore the rebirth of 8,000-year-old winemaking traditions nearly lost during Soviet rule. Using unobtrusive iPhone technology, Railsback brings the voices and ancestral legacies of modern Georgians directly to the spotlight. He uncovers a complex and resilient society that has survived regular foreign invasion and repeated attempts to erase Georgian culture. The revival of traditional wine production is the central driving force behind this powerful, independent and autonomous country to find the identity of the 21st century.
