In the mountains of northern Spain, farmers and laypeople have competed in rural Strongman sports for generations. Stone lifting, wood cutting, bale tossing — the sports themselves carried over from years of manual labor, of daily life surviving off the land. LEVANTADORES introduces this rich culture which has helped influence a generation of modern day Strongman who are doing what they can to keep this heritage alive. • Still Images: • Author: Indalecio Ojanguren, Source: Gipuzkoako Foru Aldundiko Kultura eta Euskara Departamentua, Title: 03_sendia.jpg, Adapted • https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • Author: Indalecio Ojanguren, Source: Gipuzkoako Foru Aldundiko Kultura eta Euskara Departamentua, Title: 07_laiatzen.jpg, Adapted • https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • Author: Artberri, Source: https://www.flickr.com/photos/artberr..., Title: Trontzea, Euskal Herria.jpg, Adapted • https://www.flickr.com/photos/1361380... • Author: Indalecio Ojanguren, Source: Gipuzkoako Artxibo Orokorra (GFA) http://www.guregipuzkoa.net/photo/3546, Title: IngudeAltxaketa.jpg, Adapted • https://en.wiki2.org/wiki/File:Ingude... • Author: Indalecio Ojanguren, Source: Gipuzkoako Artxibo Orokorra (GFA) http://www.guregipuzkoa.net/photo/57, Title: Laiariak.jpg, Adapted • https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • CC-BY-SA-3.0Images from GureGipuzkoa • https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... • Remainder of still images used with permission by the owner(s) • Thanks to all who participated in the creation of this film -- all the families and individuals who let us into their homes and shared their culture with us. • Special Thanks: • Jan and Terry Todd • Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports • Lucio Dolcel • Additional thanks to Maite and the Rural-Mañe family for use of family photo archive
