Herders - Guardians of the Earth (2023)
A graceful and moving meditation on a disappearing way of life. Tender and unsentimental at the same time. Set in landscapes of remarkable size and beauty, the film portrays the world of the often invisible and marginalized pastoral cultures that exist all over the world. The film captures the beauty and harshness of this dying way of life, explores the deep and ancient partnerships between humans and animals, and tells of a type of food production and way of life that gives back more to nature and humanity than it takes away. The ancient practices of nomadic pastoralism contain a wisdom that deserves to be preserved and protected. It is time for a tribute. And a chance to rethink.
