Customer Rating:
Summary: Fascinating
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Makes you question your assumptions.
Comment: You don't need a high school diploma to rip out a living sheep's main artery with your bare hands. You just need the specific skill. The culture will train you in the skills you need to be successful. Can a person really see the future, literally? The Shaman is positive. Is he wrong? Or am I wrong? Naturally I think he is wrong. He is a "primitive," right? Does it matter than I have read Homer and Kant? I wonder. Also: why does the woman care that the videographers catch her with her hair not tied up? We're talking goat herders here, not Madonna. What is it with the vanity of personal presentation? Is it universal?
Customer Rating:
Summary: I never knew of turks living in tuvinia.
Comment: I accept that previously it was very difficult to obtain any information from the soviet times.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A very good introduction to a hidden people.
Comment: Interesting...good quality...complimentary END
