- Description
- It is considered as one of the most spectacular transhumance in the world. For many weeks, the Bachtiari nomads migrate across the Zagros Mountains in the southwest of Iran. Twice a year they hike with hundreds of goats and sheep from the winter pastures to the summer meadows – and back again. This dangerous trail leads up to more than 4,000m high passes, along steep slopes or across narrow gorges. It is a struggle for survive for men and animal. Around 50,000 Bachtiari still live a traditional nomad life in their black goat-fur tents. However, only a few families are still prepared to face the risks and strains of this several weeks long migration. The film by Dorothe Dörholt accompanies the young nomad couple Marzieh and Pire in their every-day life and on their dangerous march to the winter pastures.
