Story of how they cared for the unloved camel calf was deeply moving, and I loved learning about nomad life in current day Mongolia.

This movie gives an inside view of a Mongolian family in the Gobi Desert. The main action revolves around a mother camel who, due to a difficult birth, has rejected her infant and the efforts of the family to keep the baby camel alive and reunite him with his mother. In addition to this story line, the viewer is given an opportunity to see the family's lifestyle and traditions. This was filmed in the native language so subtitles are necessary. A very interesting film if you enjoy learning about other cultures. I bought this film on the recommendation of someone who had seen it and liked it. I was not disappointed.
A tender and touching film about a Mongolian camel and its' owners family. When a first time mother camel gives birth to and rejects her colt, the tender and loving concern of her owners uses traditional methods of prayer and music, as well as gentle human care, to attempt to get the mother camel to nurse her colt. The owners family, their individual roles within the family, and the ways in which they relate to each other, in a society which is slowly and somewhat reluctantly changing.
Was not very happy at all - did not realise that international DVD's could not be played on the normal DVD player only on the computer also the same applies to DVD Coming Home am pleased I had seen The Story of the Weeping Camel at a Cinema - a wonderful story of what is happening in the world with technology completely changing lives of people who were previously happy with their lives - just a shame I am unable to play on a decent screen - under different codes - just warm people who might be thinking of purchasing internationally - no sympathy from suppliers!!!!
Lovely movie. Great for children and adults. Also great for energy workers.
