“Orgull de Baix” (Baix Pride) is a multi-platform project that explores the ecological and agricultural treasure trove that is the Baix Llobregat region, its history and the struggle by its inhabitants to maintain its identity (which is closely linked to the river, the delta and the food its land produces), and to overcome the urban development pressure exerted by the big city that is its next-door neighbour, Barcelona.
“Orgull de Baix” deals with farming in urban environments, food sovereignty, the tension between the centre and the periphery, between urban and rural spaces, and between growth and sustainability.
And it does so using a range of different media: a documentary “El pati del darrere” (The Backyard), a web documentary and actions taken via the social media.
