Weeping Camel












The movie Weeping Camel takes place in modern Mongolia. It not only tells the story of a camel and its mother, it also tells the story of a nomadic mongolian family and their culture, focusing on their connection to the camel. It describes the trials of life in the Gobi desert and the process that the family goes through to convince a mother camel to accept her white camel. The film also gives snapshots of Mongolian culture and music and they sing to the camel in the end which somehow coerces the mother to accept her suckling.
This movie gives insight into how other people live and how people still live traditional lives in Mongolia and have not fully modernized, whether for better or worse.
