5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, June 7, 2008

This review is from: Disappearing World: Herders of Mongun-Taiga, The Tuvans of Mongolia (Disappearing World Series: Tuva) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched this with my mouth hanging half open and then immediately watched it again. Sure, I find "throat-singing" interesting, but I had no idea that these people lived in such inhospitable climes, that they have to protect their animals from snow leopards (!), nor that they have this rich storytelling tradition.

I accept that previously it was very difficult to obtain any information from the soviet times.
