Inland Visions. Episode 16 | RT Documentary

Join us on a fascinating journey to a land where almost everything has symbolic meaning; a place where people have gathered to observe their ancient traditions since the beginning of time. Welcome to North Ossetia!

Sean Thomas travels to this part of the Caucasus Mountains to uncover the secrets hidden in Dargavs, also known as the ‘City of the Dead.’ They say those who come here never emerge alive… but don’t worry, our trip is as engaging as it is safe.

So next, we visit the Fandyr factory, which has been crafting and restoring musical instruments using ancient rules, traditions, and techniques. Along the way, we encounter giant installations and stop to speak with the project's creator, who explains that these sculptures capture various aspects of Ossetia's history through contemporary art and symbolism.

Get acquainted with the unique land of North Ossetia, rich and mesmerizing in its beauty and history.
