The Story of Weeping Camel

Release date: 6 September 2003 (Toronto International Film Festival)

Directed by Mongolian, Byambasuren Davaa, this wonderful gem concerns the story of an albino camel born, then rejected, by it's mother. The story is simple, as one would hope with a film/documentary of this ilk. After trying several options, the family send sons, Dude and Ogna out through the Gobi desert to find a violinist in Tiamet Centre who can perform an ancient ritual to reunite mother and calf. Well worth a rent and full of beautiful, stark images of the desert.

My rating: 8 out of 10.
