The nomads of Mongolia have become a symbol of their country's resilience. Glorified in poems and folk songs, romanticised by the West, the nomadic life has many admirers. But the reality of life in the saddle is very different. This week's offering is a picturesque and beautifully filmed journey through the rugged steppes of Mongolia. Fifteen years on from the fall of Communism, how is the country making the transition to a Capitalist society? A wistful look at a society on the cusp of change.
Poor very, poor, even the pronounciation of certain Mongolian names... better not talking about the interpretation of the history itself... Pity though..., that is usually how it comes out from amateur western documentarists...
