Romantic Warriors: A Progressive Music Saga is a feature-length documentary film written and directed by José Zegarra Holder and Adele Schmidt, released in 2010 as the first part of a series dedicated to progressive rock as an artistic, cultural and social phenomenon. The project reflects the film makers' love of a music genre that has made a strong comeback in the early 21st century – four decades after its Seventies heyday – although without regaining the commercial appeal of the original movement. Romantic Warriors was positively received by long-time followers of the genre, and sparked interest also outside the boundaries of the progressive rock fandom.

The second installment of the series – titled Romantic Warriors II: A Progressive Music Saga About Rock in Opposition – was released in the summer of 2012, while a third film, dedicated to the Canterbury scene and titled Romantic Warriors III: Canterbury Tales, was released April 2015.
