What happens

Os Ancares: A serra esquecida é un documental galego de 2012 dirixido por Enrique Rodríguez e producido por Formato Producciones para a Televisión de Galicia. En 1968 o xornalista Enrique de Arce Temes realizou unha reportaxe para El Ideal Gallego sobre a situación dos habitantes da serra dos Ancares, que vivían completamente illados nunhas condicións máis propias da Idade Media que do século XX. A crónica daquela expedición e dos anos posteriores quedou recollida no libro Os Ancares: A serra esquecida (2010). O documental relata os acontecementos descritos no libro, contando co testemuño dos protagonistas daquela expedición e dos veciños que habitaron nos Ancares durante aqueles anos.
