The Story of the Weeping Camel (2004)

Real-life look at the Mongolian desert herders. Story revolves around their daily routine of herding sheep, shearing camels for wool, preparing for desert storms, and indoor games and music. The heart of this tale is a mother and her camel colt who she does not accept without great coaxing. When she does, she weeps. Such photography, and a magnificent simplicity kept me riveted. 90 min.
