Story of the Weeping Camel
Anyone seen it? It's up for an academy award.

Thinking about going to the indy film theater today and checking it out...

1. Saw it last night
on DVD. I liked it but it was not what I was expecting. It isn't like other documentaries in that there is no voice over.

Interesting counterpoint of the nomads and their old ways and the creeping in of modern civilization - the people milking the goats and camels and tying up their tents, then later installing a satellite dish next to the tent.

The end is very strange and mystical.
