Nacho did a brilliant job with this film. It is a really interesting story that he found and pitched, and he did a great job of finding the characters to best tell this story. His cinematography on this video is stunning, and I think overall it is one of the best pieces Nacho has created for us so far. We look forward to working with him again.

Nacho was very good to work with. We had a theft incident after the shoot and Nacho was very diligent about arranging a reshoot right away. Highly recommended

The most important players at Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano? This team of raptors. Meet the man behind the birds of prey, falconer Jorge Castaño. His army of five eagles and five hawks is in charge of keeping unwanted birds, such as pigeons, out of the Spanish soccer stadium — and off the home turf of Atlético de Madrid. "Just by flying the hawks around the stadium, we have scared off birds that want to come here to nest or eat the special grass seed," Castaño said. Watch his journey from 11-year-old boy to world-class falconer in this episode of "Extraordinary People."

The hermitage of San Bartolomé, a 12th-century chapel in the Rio dos Lobos Canyon, was built by the Templars in a very specific spot. By connecting the main Templar strongholds in the Iberian Peninsula, you can draw a cross on the map with the San Bartolomé hermitage right in the center, at the very heart of an area with an ancient mystical history. But could the symbolism inside the chapel also link the location to the mythical Ark of the Covenant?

In the depths of the Argentinian rainforest, the Indigenous Guarani are fighting to safeguard their ancestral lands from illegal logging and government neglect. They've created a forest guard called "Los Rumberos," or “The Patrollers,” to deter further encroachment. Led by Santiago, a bilingual Guarani community member, and Agustin, a non-Guarani park ranger, they embark on daring patrols to mark territorial boundaries, document clear-cutting, and even confront ranchers who’ve stolen their land.

Pablo Vidarte is a born inventor. At the age of eight, he was programming video games. By 16, he was challenging NASA and competing with the Spanish army to enhance the efficiency of external combustion engines. "I wanted to perfect a system that NASA did in 2002 oriented to powering cars. I was able to increase that efficiency by 60 per cent, which was pretty cool," Pablo explained. Aged 18, he created his first company specialising in artificial intelligence. A year later, he founded Bioo, a revolutionary startup that generates electricity from plants' photosynthesis.
