I've been to Mongolia and this film shows the 'modern' nomadic life. Some reviews question the credibility of the film because of the modern touches like TV's and SUVs. Yes they wear the dels. Yes some of the young nomads are wearing western clothing. Yes there are satellite dishes and solar panels. Yes some of the more successful nomads have motorcycles and Russian SUV's. Be glad they do. Nomadic life is brutal. While we golf or fish on a Saturday, the nomads gather dried dung for their stoves. Imagine having to ride 50 KM at -30C on a camel to get to a doctor.
Buy the DVD, then a ticket to Mongolia and see it for yourself.
