they probably could have skip some of the beginning i be not sure why this start out in the asian part of turkey . if it be because start in the mediterranean and they could have get closer start in modern day lebanon . one the camera and crew get to the bakhtyari tribe and it the beginning of an amazing 48 day journey . 50 and 000 people with about 250 and 000 goat and camel and cattle and and horse make this amazing trek across what seem to be a very fast move karun river . they use raft that be keep afloat by inflate goat skin you can see where the head and leg be remove . the other bank of the river be very steep i be guess about a 60 degree rise . just watch that be incredible and but there be much more to come . to get to the pasture and they also have to cross a major mountain that have about 4 foot of snow and if not more . be able to climb this mountain be pretty amazing in and of itself and but they ( and all of the animal ) climb this mountain barefoot . yes and barefoot . the one drawback to this documentary be some of the inter title with poor attempt at humor . if you want to see a documentary from the silent era and or the incredible challenge that this tribe not only face and but conquer . this be just an incredible document of a little known group of people face all kind of challenge .
