Synopsis

The Pamir Kirghiz people have migrated across Central Asia from the U.S.S.R to China to Afghanistan to Pakistan and finally to remote eastern Turkey to preserve their culture. Now they face the most serious threat to their traditions. As well as comedy about the process of film-making, this international award-winning documentary offers ethnographical description of a unique people, their history, and the conflict between ancient culture and globalisation.
