MCT:April 21, 2008As quiet and simple this movie is, it manages to take the spectator on a journey to Mongolia and to make him fall in love with camels and the simple yet happy life of Mongolian people. Sweet.

MCT:December 18, 2007A refreshing change from the characterless films of mainstream movies. This is yet another example of strenth in world cinema. You might almost believe that you're watching some national Geographic documenatry when viewing this film. It feels like life.

well made documentary, following a group of people living out in the dessert in asia, and there ritual surrounding there hurds of camels, and one in particular as we follow his life with the tribe looking after it, and them trying to get the camel to acept its new born which if it doesent, will not survive, very well made, and not my thing at all, but it grabbed me, with the way of life we see on screen, the struggle of the human family and the outcome of the camels, the kids are great in this too, playing up to the cameras, all they want is a little tv, western kids have it so good, a great documentary, i think youll be suprised

This was very good. It is a rather thoughtful film without a lot of diologue, and some things that are said are not translated. Yet, it is still easy to understand and get into. It isn't terribly exciting and is a very small story... sort of slice-of-life, just not a life most people are familiar with. It is also rather touching, and I nearly cried when that poor camel's mommy wouldn't let him drink.

A gorgeous little story and beautiful people but I'd only recommend it for documentary buffs. Anyone else might find it unbearingly boring mainly because there is not much dialogue (everything said wasn't translated) and that it is pretty much a documentary. It's possible that arthouse buffs would appreciate it also.

A truly beautiful piece of cinema showing the lives of people unaffacted by modern society. This movie moved me like nothing I've seen in a very long time.
I would advise not watching the extras on the DVD, however. I don't want to think of this as a film with lines and cameras... I want to remember it as a voyeur into true family values & faith. -

When a Mongolian nomadic family's newest camel colt is rejected by its mother, a musician is needed for a ritual to change her mind.

Inspirational and uplifting documentary centred on a nomadic family in the Gobi desert, their simple daily lives without tv, supermarkets and cars, and that's just for starters! A whilte camel is rejected by its mother at birth and all attempts to reconcile them fail so the nomads must find city help. Shhh! I cried :)

This documentary will warm your heart! Lovley true-story about a white baby-camel rejected by its mother and the mongolian family that does all they can to save the beautiful baby-camel. It really wheeps! Just like a human baby - heartbreaking! This is not only a story about camels. It is a story about a culture (nomadic mongolians) that will maybe not survive its encounter with the modern age. Wonderful footage. Very touching but not sentimental.
