Located in the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, a community of almost 1,000 people is known to many as the home of the Falkland Stampede.

However, Kelowna-based filmmaker Alex Pavlovic wanted to explore more about quaint Falkland. Along with his directing partner, Ivan Gorbenko, the two recently released a nearly 30-minute documentary, aptly titled Falkland.

The Falkland Stampede is a significant revenue-generator for the community, and its steep history intrigued Pavlovic.

The documentary touches on several areas, including the Gypsum Mine, which has been in operation, since 1926.
