Herdsmen - PREVIEW

Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/herdsmen.html A small film crew tracks a Kazak family in Xinjiang, China's western-most province, from spring to winter. Unlike the people of Kazakstan, who grew into a nation of farmers and workers, the Kazaks retained their nomadic life and a close bond with nature. The Kazaks are a small minority among many more tenacious peoples of Xinjiang. To exist they went their way among the mountains and plateaus of the most remote region in the most desolate part of China. Richly informative for teaching anthropology, Asian Studies, nomadic cultures and kinship. a film by Wei Bin distributed by Documentary Educational Resources
