Synopsis

Somewhere between a documentary and a fictional movie, this wonderful film from the central Asian country of Mongolia has non-actors basically playing themselves in a story that is typical of their daily lives. The story begins with the birth of an incredibly rare white calf to a camel that belongs to a group of nomads. But for all its beauty, the mother will not feed the baby camel, leaving it fighting for life. Finally, the nomads decide that they must help save the youngster themselves. This is an incredibly uplifting movie about a way life as different to that in modern Britain as you could find.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
