Nomads. The Generation After
Description
In the Indian region of Ladakh, in the heart of the Himalayas, a few thousand nomadic shepherds still live with their herds at an altitude of approximately 15,000 feet. Through the daily life of a Tibetan family, we try to understand the deep changes these people are confronting. Their 14-year-old daughter is studying in a Tibetan school and lives in a self-administered children village. In a nomadic settlement the routine is grueling, especially during winter when temperatures—even in the shelter of a tent—can fall below minus 85 degrees. This is an existence closer to survival than normal life. Will this new generation, the one getting an education, be keen to perpetuate such a punishing traditional lifestyle?
