The Story of the Weeping Camel

This fascinating docudrama, in the tradition of Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North, follows a family of Mongolian camel-herders who use music and ritual to establish the bond between a new-born colt and its recalcitrant mother. A bizarre and affecting picture of another world - harsh, yet harmonious.
