Just saw an amazing film: The Story of the Weeping Camel It's on DVD, available thru Netflix...if you have any interest in simple traditional living in the modern world, the power of music in rituals, or if you want to see where a LOT of the inspiration for the desert worlds in Star Wars MUST have come from, check it out...and then go to the website to convince yourself that it wasn't all staged make-believe. http://www.thinkfilmcompany.com/weepingcamel/index2.html In short, it's a documentary about nomadic herders in Mongolia: yurts, Gobi Desert, big furry camels, etc. One of their camels gives birth to a colt that she rejects, so the herders call for a violinist to come and perform the reuniting ritual... dc
