Documentary/narrative hybrid about a shepherd in Mongolia forced to change his life and move to a village because of climate change.
This is an uneven film. The documentary parts of the film are an eye opening look at the life herding animals in Mongolia. However the mixing of life on the plains with the story of a forced change doesn’t wholly work. While it’s not bad but the inclusion of created narrative results in some moments that don’t feel natural. The ending didn’t work for me for that reason.
While not bad, the film isn’t what it could have been if it was either purely a narrative or purely a documentary.
