Storyville’s beautiful documentary follows the lives of cowboys and cowgirls. Plus, can one person’s fear of clowns be cured? Here’s what to watch this evening
10pm, BBC Four
This black-and-white documentary is so artfully crafted by directors Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw that it feels more like a cinematic western drama. It follows the everyday lives of Argentina’s shrinking community of gauchos (cowboys and cowgirls) who preserve their traditions and fight to remain free in the modern world. There are no introductions or to-camera interviews, just mesmerising observations of cattle herding, family meals and horse-riding. Hollie Richardson
