  • Why did they stop taking the sheep to the summer pasture???

  • Some of the bleakest, most directionless and detached moviemaking I've ever seen. The absence of any narrative that allows us to feel the goals of the moviemakers seems to me to be way too artsy to actually deliver the message.

  • @mtnblues I look at it as more of a portrait. Its anthropology.

  • Also one I forgot to mention, since people on here might like documentaries on the change of America in so short a span is Sucker Punch Picture's THE LAST ONE, about Popcorn Sutton, a Appalachian moonshiner; another portion of American life for centuries that has near come to a close. All these documentaries make me want an America where we were closer to natural resources and nature and knowledge of survival and less about knowing what aisle the microwave pizzas are on.

  • Great documentary. I hope it shows over and over on PBS. It is up there with Atchafalaya Houseboat and Alone in the Wilderness for the beauty and story that connects and resonates to many as a fading, changing America. It is majestic, unspoiled scenery and salt of the earth men and women, in this beauty and yet there is this melancholly aspect that is the dying way of life and the still further move of America from agriculture & ranching to industry & computers. It reminds me of McCarthy novels.

  • doing the same job here in northern italy these scenes are particularly emotional. really wonderful, unfortunately I have never heard about this film here

  • lmao, Turn on that "youtube1911" filter thing and watch this.

  • I grew up on a sheep ranch 200 miles from there and I am a film maker great movie and I've been kicking myself since I saw this... my god I never imaged anyone would be interested in this subject matter

  • Great performances and an all around well done film that I watched on moovi.co.cc.. I would recommand it to everyone..you wont be sorry

  • It was freakin awesome! Just saw the movie on moovi.co.cc, Watch it totally free there!!!

  • Great review except for the part about the ending. I just wanted to see this movie and I do it today at moovi.co.cc. It was ok!

  • Yes, definitly moovi.co.cc has been designed to give the best possible service in regard to the quality of this story... Story is even now something that you would have a doubt about...

  • Cool!!! a truely inspirational film!! this has got the perfectness in all sense..! u gotta check this out at moovi.co.cc for the perfect picture with the superior sound!!! log on watch it now!!

  • Wow every one is spaming this video! I think that is looks pretty amazing. I herd my sheep down the road to pastures, I couldn't imagine herding the across 150 miles. Wow.

  • Saw this by accident at a Film Festival in San Jose, California. Was totally taken by it. Ironically my ancestors are from that area of the country. Great film! Highly recommended.

  • They have it wrong it should be modern-day sheepherders not the cowwboy. Last time I looked cowboys work cattle not flocks of sheep.

  • @62boots1 What a truly unimportant correction.

  • @uncleboatshoes Tell that to the real American Cowboy

  • I saw this last night... it's just one stunning image after another, meticulously documenting every stage of the caring for and herding of sheep. Through it all we witness the exchange between man and animal as horse, dog, bear, sheep and human play out a slow symbiotic struggle to be and do. A true document, artfully done and completely free of artifice. The best doc I have seen in years.

  • GUYS do somebody know whith which camera has this been shot?

  • @massimoarnaudo Its not the camera, my friend, its the filmmaker.

  • This looks amazing!

  • Malick/Anderson

    Take notice.

  • Now, I've cowboyed and I've herded sheep, and I can tell you that those are not cowboys, being as those are SHEEP!

    Otherwise, damn, this looks amazing. I'd love to be along for this work, end put my good dogs to proper use. :-)

    (Though somebody tell that ol' kid with the cell phone to hang up and cowboy up.) *g*

  • well, in England we have a name for them: shepherds.

  • LOL! Yup, we have people over here in the US who know what shepherds are, too. Evidently they're not writing the promos for this movie, though. ;-)
