Camel, (Subtitled) (DVD) |
|
Springtime in
the Gobi Desert, South Mongolia. A family of nomadic shepherds
assist the delivery of the young of their camel herd. A difficult
delivery for one of the camels, results in the birth of a rare
white colt. Despite the efforts of the shepherds, the mother

one seems to have vanished, the nomads send their two young
boys on a journey through the desert, to a backwater town in

Long Way Round : Chasing Shadows
Across the World |
|
| It started as
a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home one quiet
Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor - actor and self-confessed
bike nut - noticed that it was possible to ride all the way
round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait
from Russia to Alaska. It was a revelation he couldn't get out
of his head. So he picked up the phone and called Charley Boorman,
his best friend, fellow actor and bike enthusiast. 'Charley,'
he said. 'I think you ought to come over for dinner...'
From London to New York, Ewan and Charley chased
their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia
and Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through
Canada and America. But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres
of their big BMWs, their troubles started. Exhaustion, injury
and accidents tested their strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable
weather and turbulent politics challenged their stamina. They
were chased by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with
very large guns in the Ukraine, hassled by the police, and
given bulls' testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads. And yet despite all these obstacles they managed
to ride over 20,000 miles in four months, changing their lives
forever in the process. As they travelled they documented
their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by the
campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures
- a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book
about two friends riding round the world together and, against
all the odds, realising their dream.

Hearing Birds Fly: A Nomadic Year
in Mongolia |
|
After two years of working
in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, journalist Louisa Waugh
moved to the remote village of Tsengel, in the extreme west
of the country. This is the story of the year she spent there,
living and working with the people who have made a home in the
stark but beautiful landscape. With unflinching honesty, Waugh
recounts how she slowly learned to fend for herself in a world
where life is dominated by the seasons. The villagers and their
culture vividly emerge as she shares her happiness, frustrations,
and occasional extreme loneliness and fear. Hearing Birds Fly
transports the reader from the end of a long, hard Mongolian
winter, through a drought–stricken spring, into a lush
summer spent in the mountains with a family of nomads. A warm,
totally unsentimental account of life in a world where the act
of survival is, in itself, a triumph of the human spirit.
