kekelixi ( mountain patrol ) be one of those quiet and quasi documentary film that now and then rise out of nowhere and have such an impact on the viewer that it have the potential for create some global change action . write and direct by chuan lu from china and sponsor in part by national geographic the film be distribute a travel or foreign place or environmental issue product and and while it satisfy those designation and it resonate a a story that be not only base on fact and but one that open our eye to another way of life in a very remote area . the effect be stun . a journalist from beijing ga yu ( zhang lei ) travel to tibet to investigate the poaching of tibetan antelope and the group of unpaid citizen commit to eradicate the poacher and save their beloved antelope . the leader of the mountain patrol be ri tai ( duobuji ) and he have gather devote men who spend their life selflessly search for the elusive poacher . ga yu go along for the search and camera in hand and capture the magnificence of the mountain of tibet and the men camaraderie and commitment to their mission and and the field of antelope carcass leave behind by the poacher whose only concern be to skin the antelope for their pelt of luxurious wool for the world market . the patrol encounter endless problem with their equipment and food supply and loss of men to the poacher gun and and finally capture a group of men ( a family ) who serve a skinner for the pelt . ri tai attempt to remain fair and non violent and but his attempt be constantly thwart . ga yu change from a journalist role to a committed hunter and his relationship with ri tai and the other patrolman be exceedingly touch . the end of the film be as quiet a the tibetan landscape and equally a impactful . the cast be not know to this viewer and but it be difficult to imagine that duobuji and zhang lei be amateur actor and so profoundly move be their performance . the haunting music by lao zai and the breathtaking cinematography by yu cao support chuan lu film . this art piece be excellent on many level and be one that deserve a large audience . highly recommended .
