New Film - "Gobi Women's Song," Mongolian Documentary for Higher Education
Set against the background of barren expanses, "Gobi Women's
Song" immerses the viewer in a different world. It is a world
in a transitional moment, one that has occurred in all cultures,
which decides the future lives, environment and lifestyle of its people.
Five 21st century nomadic women share their lives over a four-year
period. These are women who live the same way their ancestors did
3000 years ago--women who still hum with the song of the soul passed
down from their grandmothers. Their colorful and harsh lives are ultimately
about connection--with the past, the environment, community, family,
and ultimately, with us. The director, Sas Carey, is available to
take this educational documentary on tour to colleges and universities.
She offers a lecture and screening and an opportunity to have her
meet with classes on Women's Studies, Anthropology, Complementary
Healing, Sustainable Living, Central Asian nomads, and/or Mongolia.
