This year's Basque Cultural Day will feature themes from the documentary
film
GAZTA ZATI BAT
(A
Peace of Cheese).
The film explores self-determination through the story of villagers of
the Idiazabal region, famous for its cheese. These villagers revived
their local rural sports and worked towards a path of
self-determination for the Basque Country , both with support from their
friends in Scotland. The cheese of Idiazabal is added as an
essential ingredient to this mix Admission to the program is free of charge with the exception of the evening dinner. |
