We completed our first project for Red Bull TV in June with a short documentary featureon the origins of castells, or human tower building, shot in the small town of Valls in Catalonia.

Directed by Neil Robertshaw, A Town Divided focuses on the relationship between Laia and Xavi, two young people embroiled in the enduring rivalry between the community’s two tower building teams, whose annual competition on the Fiesta of Sant Joan lead to the spread of castells throughout Catalonia.

The feature aired in the build-up to the channel’s live coverage of the Concurs de Castells in Tarragona, the climax to the tower building season.

Additional photography and footage by David Oliete.
