The story of the Alashan people and camels.

Video information

The four-part documentary series, "The Story of the Alashan People and Camels," uses the method of anthropological film documentation to focus on the camel herders of the Alashan Left Banner. It authentically re-enacts the most distinctive aspects of traditional production and lifestyle in the desert pastoral region, including "camel salt," "migration," and "family Naadam." It meticulously portrays the deep bond between the Alashan herders and their camels over the long years of life and arduous labor. It also profoundly reveals the grassland (desert) ecological ethical view of mutual respect, interdependence, and mutual promotion between humans and nature.
