Children of Wool | Stunning Rare Documentary on The Berber Rug Weavers of Morocco

Shot on location in a very remote part of southern Morocco, this short film looks into the amazing craftsmanship and dedication of the Berber rug weavers in the region.

These incredibly talented people are part of an ancient tradition that still employs centuries-old techniques to produce beautiful and unique handwoven rugs.

It was a real honour to be given the opportunity to shoot these incredible people and beautiful culture hidden deep in the Atlas mountains. It is an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
