this be a beautifully film movie that question the future of all indigenous people and especially nomadic tribesman . focus on the saltmen of tibet and the film move at pace that may make some western viewer uncomfortable . for some people and life still proceed at the same pace which it have for thousand of year . this film follow a group of tribesman on their annual two month quest to get salt . their tribe live it life in a traditional manner ( slowly by modern standard ) and always account to their many god . this be a remarkable film and one which will preserve a piece of what may and unfortunately and become history . well worth the time . don not be in a rush when you see it .
