Running with Giants: A San Fermin Documentary (2010) Part 3/4

PART 3. In 2010 myself (Greg Strachey), James Woolley and Ali Hardisty set out on an adventure to experience the annual festival of San Fermin, held in the town of Pamplona, Spain.

I produced this very amateur documentary in order to record our trip to this incredible, unforgettable festival. I also intended to create something which would encourage people to attend in coming years, as I was unable to find many similar short films by participants.

The festival and certain elements of Spanish culture have come under scrutiny in recent years for reasons that I will not mention, and I hope that this film will aid the understanding of a tradition which has existed for hundreds of years and why it is so important to many people.

I used additional footage courtesy of Spanish news channels in order to show the bull runs themselves, as I was unable to film whilst running due to police presence, however all other film including that in the arena is mine and is subject to copyright. Any additional film has been used free of copyright restrictions.

Thank you for watching.

@HoskinsHoskins222 Hello there, thanks for watching. I've just watched your video, are you and your family and friends in the photos? If so it looks like you've had some fantastic runs, a really cool little collection of memories to look back on I'm sure, how long have you been running?

@HoskinsHoskins222 the 'Giants' kind of came from everything except the bulls, it kind of about the feeling of experiencing it all for the first time with greats friends who find themselves parting ways and about chasing adventure, something like that anyway. Thanks again, would love to hear more about your experiences. Greg
