Mohammad Wali Gandami is the last miller who knows the techniques of building and repairing traditional Iranian windmills. At the age of 68, he is still responsible for the maintenance of windmills in the city of Nashtifan, which have been submitted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but remain unrecognized. For many years, Mohammad Wali Gandami alone has been protecting the historical heritage of his people and his predecessors. Wind’s Heritage brings attention to the importance of preserving this cultural heritage and the need to recognize the contributions of those who have dedicated their lives to this cause.
