~The New York Times

~TIME magazine

''It's one of a kind.''
~The Wall Street Journal

Springtime in the Gobi Desert.  A family of nomads assist in the births of its camel herd.  They face a crisis when one white calf is rejected by its mother after a particularly difficult birth.  When all hope seems lost, the family sends its two boys on a journey to a far-off village to fetch a musician capable of performing a magical ceremony.

The Story of the Weeping Camel is a work that combines hard-hitting truth with uplifting drama.  The film's sweeping vistas and magical photography capture the very essence of this part of the world, while its emotionally charged story of separation and reconciliation reminds us that the heart, whether human or animal, knows no borders.
