Iron Winter
Iron Winter - from Australian director Kasimir Burgess - delves into the rituals and traditions of the herders of Mongolia’s Tsaikhir Valley. For generations Mongolian herders have protected their horses from winter storms by amassing a herd and nominating young men to protect it. Now two young friends are handed the responsibility of reviving this tradition, battling the deadliest winter on record. In the Iron Winter, nothing can survive alone. Set in the Tsakhir Valley of the Arkhangai province, one of the world’s harshest human-inhabited environments, the film captures the herders’ 150-day struggle to lead thousands of horses into the high country in search of edible grass hidden under the snow. A real-life story of camaraderie and survival, Iron Winter is a remarkable window into one of the world’s most breathtaking and forbidding environments, as well as the immediate threats posed by catastrophic climate change.DocumentryPT1H29MCTCKasimir Burgess
