Here's my "life-changing" movie, an award-winning documentary:
"The Story of the Weeping Camel is an enchanting film that follows the adventures of a family of herders in Mongolia's Gobi region who face a crisis when the mother camel unexpectedly rejects her newborn calf after a particularly difficult birth. Uniquely composed of equal parts reality, drama, and magic, this film is a window into a different way of life and the universal terrain of the heart."
(From The Story of the Weeping Camel by National Geographic.)
Amazing how music was used to "soothe the savage beast" - how someone played music to calm and entice the young camel into finally accepting and allowing her calf to feed. Beautiful cinematography and story/documentary.
Sounds very interesting--and made by National Geographic. Kind of guarantees it will be good. thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteOh, this was an amazing movie! I watched it years ago with my kids. On top of all that, I have an affinity for camels (always have, but can't explain why!).
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! thank you for telling us about this unusual-sounding flick!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this one, but it sounds very good. It's a good question, too - I'll have to give it some thought!
