Synopsis by Tracie Cooper

This documentary offers a portrait of the ethnic minority group known known as Darkhad. Residing in northern Mongolia, the Darkhad people find their traditional culture and way of life threatened by continued modern development. Dedicated to finding and preserving ethnic songs for future generations, a folk singer known as Mr Tsogbadrakh travels the land in search of elders who may be able to provide him with these important pieces of history.
