A documentary about the vanishing nomads of Tibet. This documentary is a personal take on the plight of Tibetan nomads. The film was shot on location in Tibet and in northern India. Tibetan nomads are being forcibly relocated by Chinese officials-shifted off their traditional grazing lands into concrete ghettos, where they are marginalized and have little chance of making a decent living, or finding a new profession. Previously, when grazing yaks, they were self-sufficient and lived in an entirely sustainable way. Now, they are unemployed, and dependent on the Chinese government for hand-outs-and for food. In an era where sustainability is the mantra, Chinese policy makes no sense. This re-settlement policy is designed to wipe out nomad culture and its strong connections to traditional Tibetan values. Nomads are the stewards of the vast grasslands of Tibet-they have been grazing these lands with their yaks for close on 4000 years. Without the nomads, the grasslands (already affected by climate change) will further deteriorate and turn into desert.
