THE BROKEN MOON

[01:02:53:18]

[01:03:00:01]

SIX MONTHS EARLIER

[01:03:04:08]

[01:03:50:21]

My name is Sonam.

[01:03:53:05]

[01:03:57:14]

Yes, this is the place where I live,

[01:04:00:17]

[01:04:01:08]

but now I feel like we are just

surviving here.

[01:04:05:19]

[01:04:15:17]

Those are the remaining of my people.

[01:04:19:03]

[01:04:21:02]

You must be wondering why we live

in a place like this,

[01:04:25:12]

[01:04:26:10]

but this is the land of our ancestors.

[01:04:28:23]

[01:04:29:04]

Our homeland.

[01:04:31:15]

[01:04:35:23]

In fact, I continue to believe that.

[01:04:39:03]

[01:04:44:06]

This is my son, Dorjay.

[01:04:47:01]

[01:04:47:04]

He is a young member of the tribe.

[01:04:49:14]

[01:04:52:05]

Dorjay...

[01:04:53:13]

[01:04:55:01]

Like any young person,

[01:04:57:10]

[01:04:57:11]

He's a dreamer.

[01:04:59:17]

[01:05:01:03]

I'd like to say that all dreams

will come true.

[01:05:04:11]

[01:05:04:14]

but I don't want to lie to him.

[01:05:07:04]

[01:05:08:00]

Dorjay...

[01:05:09:06]

[01:05:10:16]

Dorjay...

[01:05:12:00]

[01:05:13:05]

Dorjay...

[01:05:15:08]

[01:05:17:09]

I'm so happy! By God's grace,

I have enough firewood.

[01:05:23:19]

[01:05:27:18]

It's all dry.

[01:05:28:16]

[01:05:29:04]

My father is bringing more and more,

so nice...

[01:05:33:12]

[01:05:33:19]

I never had so much dry firewood

in my life.

[01:05:38:13]

[01:05:44:12]

Dorjay

[01:05:45:05]

[01:05:45:14]

Yes

[01:05:46:08]

[01:05:47:05]

I crossed the valleys and I didn't

find enough water.

[01:05:53:19]

[01:05:53:22]

Maybe we should move again.

[01:05:57:20]

[01:05:58:00]

I agree. I will call the tribe for

a decision.

[01:06:02:07]

[01:06:02:15]

Then we can move to a better place.

[01:06:05:04]

[01:06:05:16]

Yes, organize it.

[01:06:07:05]

[01:06:24:05]

Atsa...tsa...tsa...

I hurt myself.

[01:06:27:23]

[01:06:55:09]

In the beginning, there were only two

families in these valleys.

[01:07:00:05]

[01:07:08:17]

The winter time was very hard,

[01:07:11:21]

[01:07:12:03]

and one family lost all animals.

[01:07:14:13]

[01:07:22:16]

They went to see what happened to the

other family.

[01:07:30:15]

[01:07:32:22]

They saw all the animals were

dead too,

[01:07:36:08]

[01:07:36:11]

and dogs were walking among

the bodies.

[01:07:39:02]

[01:07:50:02]

The snow storm was still very strong.

[01:07:52:22]

[01:07:53:00]

Defying the storm they took their

silver coins and shouted:

[01:07:57:10]

[01:07:57:13]

"The storm killed our animals,

but can not take our silver!"

[01:08:02:20]

[01:08:10:00]

Since that time our people is still

surviving here.

[01:08:13:17]

[01:08:17:05]

That's our legend.

[01:08:19:09]

[01:08:20:02]

SPANSHANG VALLEY

4860m

[01:08:23:12]

[01:08:59:00]

Son, are you there?

Come in father.

[01:09:01:15]

[01:09:02:06]

Where's your wife?

She's outside with the animals.

[01:09:06:19]

[01:09:07:09]

My son, I don't know what's happening,

[01:09:10:08]

[01:09:10:10]

there's no grass in this valley,

also.

[01:09:14:08]

[01:09:14:19]

We crossed different valleys but they

are all dry.

[01:09:18:17]

[01:09:19:07]

Green grass was not a problem,

[01:09:21:19]

[01:09:22:03]

but now, we don't have any grass.

[01:09:24:18]

[01:09:25:23]

My father, last winter we had a lot

of problems,

[01:09:30:05]

[01:09:30:10]

I dont want to live here.

[01:09:32:06]

[01:09:32:17]

Animals are getting weaker.

[01:09:35:13]

[01:09:35:16]

There is no grass, no food, no grains,

almost all the animals died.

[01:09:41:10]

[01:09:41:16]

My suffering never ends.

[01:09:44:20]

[01:09:45:00]

My son,

[01:09:46:12]

[01:09:46:18]

We need to find a way to stay here.

[01:09:48:15]

[01:09:48:22]

Which way? I can't see any

alternative.

[01:09:50:22]

[01:09:51:02]

This place is not viable,

our luck is bad.

[01:09:54:20]

[01:09:55:03]

How will the nomads live?

[01:09:57:02]

[01:09:57:07]

How are we going to survive?

[01:10:00:05]

[01:10:01:19]

I must do something.

[01:10:03:13]

[01:10:03:15]

I'm thinking of moving to the city.

[01:10:08:05]

[01:10:09:07]

How would you go there?

[01:10:11:10]

[01:10:11:13]

What will you do?

[01:10:13:07]

[01:10:13:10]

Would you do a business or a labor?

What can you do?

[01:10:19:10]

[01:10:19:16]

I can do whathever is possible.

[01:10:22:09]

[01:10:22:14]

We must find a solution to live in

the mountains.

[01:10:26:19]

[01:10:26:21]

We've been living here since our

origin.

[01:10:31:18]

[01:10:32:03]

This has been our place for centuries.

[01:10:36:00]

[01:10:37:08]

Our destiny is not here anymore.

[01:10:40:03]

[01:10:44:09]

It's not right to go to the city,

What would you do there?

[01:10:47:08]

[01:10:47:11]

I'm going.

[01:10:48:07]

[01:10:48:09]

What for? What is there?

[01:10:50:15]

[01:10:51:01]

I will sell my things and go away.

[01:10:53:10]

[01:10:53:18]

Listen to your father. Don't go!

[01:10:56:05]

[01:10:56:10]

I will go.

[01:10:57:04]

[01:10:57:10]

What are you saying?

[01:10:59:13]

[01:10:59:14]

I am going.

[01:11:00:05]

[01:11:00:06]

You don't understand.

[01:11:02:01]

[01:11:02:03]

I will go.

[01:11:02:19]

[01:11:02:21]

Don't you listen to your father?

[01:11:06:09]

[01:11:06:12]

Keep in mind, I am not going.

[01:11:10:00]

[01:11:10:04]

I am telling you, you are not going.

[01:11:13:15]

[01:11:13:19]

What for? What for? Dont go!

[01:11:16:15]

[01:11:16:17]

You need to listen.

[01:11:19:12]

[01:11:19:21]

It's decided! You are not going!

That's it!

[01:11:22:22]

[01:11:23:01]

I will go.

[01:11:23:20]

[01:11:37:01]

Oh, father is angry and went out.

[01:11:40:08]

[01:11:40:12]

Who will make him understand?

[01:11:44:15]

[01:11:44:17]

He's old and is happy to stay here.

[01:11:47:19]

[01:11:48:00]

but we are young and would

like to go away.

[01:11:52:02]

[01:11:52:11]

I will ask some good men to talk

to him,

[01:11:58:01]

[01:11:58:04]

and try to change his mind,

[01:12:00:11]

[01:12:00:13]

so I will be happy.

[01:12:04:09]

[01:12:16:01]

What will happen if we leave these

valleys?

[01:12:19:14]

[01:12:19:19]

This is the place of our ancestors.

[01:12:22:19]

[01:12:22:22]

I am completely attached to this

place.

[01:12:25:21]

[01:12:26:09]

My son is saying he will abandon

our tradition.

[01:12:31:15]

[01:12:31:22]

By going to city, what will happen?

[01:12:34:06]

[01:12:34:11]

People will say, he is a refugee.

[01:12:38:10]

[01:12:38:13]

He will face this kind of humiliation.

[01:12:42:16]

[01:12:42:18]

For ages and ages we have lived in

this place.

[01:12:48:06]

[01:12:48:14]

Everything was nice here,

[01:12:50:21]

[01:12:51:05]

but now, he wants to give up.

[01:12:54:05]

[01:12:54:09]

He doesn't understand.

[01:12:58:08]

[01:12:58:13]

I dont know what to do.

[01:13:01:08]

[01:13:01:20]

What will happen to him?

I can't think clear, now.

[01:13:08:03]

[01:14:53:10]

Originally I am from Chumur village.

[01:14:56:02]

[01:14:56:11]

I got married and came to this place.

[01:14:59:10]

[01:15:02:10]

My first daughter was born.

[01:15:05:04]

[01:15:05:06]

Then after two years,

[01:15:06:21]

[01:15:07:17]

my second daughter was born too.

[01:15:10:08]

[01:15:12:04]

One of my children has health

problems.

[01:15:17:01]

[01:15:17:12]

So I'm not really happy here.

[01:15:19:11]

[01:15:24:06]

My problems will not be over as my

sick daughter,

[01:15:28:09]

[01:15:28:17]

may not be able to attend school.

[01:15:33:07]

[01:15:37:08]

What should I say?

I am not happy at all!

[01:15:42:08]

[01:15:54:16]

Our days, became much longer running

after the animals.

[01:15:59:19]

[01:16:03:12]

We need to go up to the mountains

quite early,

[01:16:07:02]

[01:16:07:12]

and find some grass for the animals.

[01:16:10:15]

[01:16:11:14]

When the sun doesn't have its warmth,

[01:16:14:15]

[01:16:15:00]

our body freezes.

[01:16:16:22]

[01:16:17:07]

It's a hard situation.

[01:16:18:14]

[01:16:22:15]

Despite everything,

[01:16:24:09]

[01:16:24:18]

it will not be nice, if we go away.

[01:16:28:03]

[01:16:52:20]

In the past there were many people

in this village.

[01:16:57:04]

[01:16:58:00]

Some of them decided to leave.

[01:17:02:10]

[01:17:02:14]

I said "don't go, it won't be nice

for you"

[01:17:06:13]

[01:17:12:05]

When I saw them in trouble,

I told them to come back,

[01:17:15:17]

[01:17:15:23]

but they were not able to come.

[01:17:20:09]

[01:17:20:13]

They couldn't find any job.

[01:17:23:18]

[01:17:23:21]

They didn't have money to start

a business.

[01:17:27:06]

[01:17:27:16]

Here, they were considered rich man,

[01:17:30:06]

[01:17:30:17]

but in the city they were really

suffering.

[01:17:34:03]

[01:17:42:21]

Sir, what can we do,

[01:17:46:10]

[01:17:46:13]

to our people stop moving to the city?

[01:17:50:15]

[01:17:50:23]

How can they believe in a better life

there?

[01:17:55:03]

[01:17:55:08]

We need to do something to improve our

life in community,

[01:18:04:09]

[01:18:05:01]

do whatever is possible,

[01:18:08:21]

[01:18:09:00]

for some families to return home.

[01:18:12:14]

[01:18:12:21]

Our place and our existence,

[01:18:16:22]

[01:18:17:01]

may not disappear in the future.

[01:18:19:20]

[01:18:20:02]

What you are saying is right.

[01:18:22:19]

[01:18:22:23]

Young people must understand and help.

[01:18:26:12]

[01:18:26:15]

That's it.

[01:18:27:18]

[01:18:27:21]

It's my request sir, please do

something.

[01:18:32:05]

[01:19:03:01]

Suddenly, things started to go wrong.

[01:19:06:17]

[01:19:07:06]

It's a strange feeling.

[01:19:09:03]

[01:19:11:05]

Those who already left were my

friends.

[01:19:14:22]

[01:19:15:14]

My people,

[01:19:17:08]

[01:19:18:04]

My family.

[01:19:19:19]

[01:19:46:11]

I am Konchok Dorjay from Spangchen,

Kharnak.

[01:19:53:15]

[01:19:53:21]

This letter to invite your holiness

Rinpoche to come here,

[01:19:59:03]

[01:19:59:05]

We are facing many problems,

[01:20:01:15]

[01:20:01:17]

and your presence is necessary.

[01:20:04:16]

[01:20:05:19]

People and animals are getting sick

and weak,

[01:20:10:15]

[01:20:11:01]

We need your blessing and your help.

Thank You.

[01:20:14:10]

[01:20:20:17]

To Urgain Rinpoche.

[01:20:22:22]

[01:20:50:20]

Greetings, Lama.

[01:20:52:02]

[01:20:52:03]

Hello.

[01:20:53:01]

[01:20:53:02]

Hello.

[01:20:54:10]

[01:20:54:11]

Tell me.

[01:20:55:04]

[01:20:55:13]

We are facing a serious conflict in

the tribe, sir.

[01:21:00:08]

[01:21:00:17]

You should not panic. Must work hard.

[01:21:03:00]

[01:21:03:02]

Can you send this letter to

Rinpoche?

[01:21:06:00]

[01:21:06:01]

Don't worry, I will send it.

[01:21:07:19]

[01:21:07:22]

Don't be hopeless. Be strong.

[01:21:10:10]

[01:21:10:12]

Our people is desperate.

[01:21:12:15]

[01:21:12:16]

Don't worry.

[01:21:13:18]

[01:21:13:21]

Thank you, Bye.

[01:21:15:00]

[01:21:15:14]

Bye...

[01:21:16:09]

[01:21:16:10]

Thank you very much.

[01:21:17:13]

[01:23:00:03]

When is Rinpoche arriving?

[01:23:02:06]

[01:23:02:08]

Probably tomorrow.

[01:23:05:10]

[01:23:05:15]

Lots of preparations to do,

[01:23:07:09]

[01:23:08:08]

I will try to finish it quickly.

[01:23:10:04]

To this side.

[01:23:12:02]

[01:23:12:03]

Pull it.

[01:23:13:12]

[01:23:13:18]

[01:23:14:16]

[01:23:15:07]

Do you have all items for the ritual?

[01:23:17:03]

[01:23:17:08]

Yes.

[01:23:18:16]

[01:23:19:04]

OK , OK.

[01:23:20:06]

[01:23:33:17]

Rinpoche is the emanation of Ariya

Zambala,

[01:23:39:19]

[01:23:40:01]

The God of wealth.

[01:23:42:18]

[01:23:58:15]

Rinpoche! Please don't forget about

our problems.

[01:24:01:12]

[01:24:02:01]

Rinpoche will bless the animals.

[01:24:05:02]

[01:24:15:08]

Today is a blessed day of Lord Buddha,

[01:24:20:23]

[01:24:23:05]

the 4th day of the 6th month.

[01:24:26:16]

[01:24:26:19]

The nomads have presented

animals for blessings,

[01:24:30:19]

[01:24:30:22]

Protect an animal, is a very good act,

[01:24:36:00]

[01:24:36:02]

and I would like to bless you all.

[01:24:39:05]

[01:24:45:08]

I freed one animal for the happiness

of my family,

[01:24:49:13]

[01:24:49:18]

especially for my sick child.

[01:24:54:06]

[01:25:10:19]

We are blessed!

[01:25:14:02]

[01:25:15:00]

We are blessed!

[01:25:18:01]

[01:25:19:09]

Let the hope prevail!

[01:25:20:22]

[01:25:21:01]

See you, bye.

[01:25:22:13]

[01:25:22:15]

Let the hope prevail!

[01:25:24:17]

[01:25:24:20]

Let the hope prevail!

[01:25:27:00]

[01:25:27:15]

Blessed is the name of Buddha!

[01:25:29:17]

[01:25:30:03]

Blessed is the name of Buddha!

[01:25:32:17]

[01:25:32:19]

Blessed is the name of Buddha!

[01:25:34:23]

[01:25:44:06]

Konchok?

[01:25:45:03]

[01:25:45:08]

Yes.

[01:25:45:23]

[01:25:46:04]

The doctor has arrived.

[01:25:47:13]

[01:25:47:17]

OK, OK.

[01:25:49:04]

[01:26:06:01]

Can you see what's happening

to her skin?

[01:26:09:03]

and also to her eyes?

[01:26:10:14]

[01:26:11:00]

This is due to strong sun rays.

[01:26:13:02]

[01:26:13:05]

Really?

[01:26:14:06]

[01:26:14:09]

You need to be careful with the sun

rays,

[01:26:17:12]

[01:26:17:14]

it can be very harmful.

[01:26:21:11]

You need to take care of this,

[01:26:24:12]

[01:26:24:15]

Otherwise, if you don't take care,

[01:26:27:04]

[01:26:27:06]

it will spread more.

[01:26:29:02]

[01:26:33:00]

I am a field doctor

[01:26:36:09]

and I go to all their places.

[01:26:39:22]

[01:26:40:00]

I find lots of skin diseases,

[01:26:42:23]

particularly on children.

[01:26:44:21]

[01:26:45:06]

This place is situated very high

in the mountains,

[01:26:50:01]

specially due to the global warming,

[01:26:53:20]

[01:26:54:01]

the sun rays are very strong here.

[01:26:56:20]

It is very important to tell them

about global warming.

[01:27:01:17]

[01:27:02:03]

The whole world knows about climate

change,

[01:27:10:04]

[01:27:10:07]

and these people should be aware

of it.

[01:27:13:16]

[01:27:13:19]

What do you feel?

[01:27:14:20]

[01:27:14:22]

I have a back problem,

[01:27:16:10]

pain all over the body.

[01:27:18:14]

My eyes are not good.

[01:27:21:08]

[01:27:21:18]

Oh, my head!

[01:27:23:05]

[01:27:23:18]

Grandma! Can you stand up?

[01:27:25:17]

[01:27:25:19]

Yes.

[01:27:27:01]

[01:27:27:02]

I am an old woman, doctor.

[01:27:29:06]

I am not able to do anything.

[01:27:31:09]

[01:27:31:18]

Look here.

[01:27:32:14]

[01:27:33:07]

This one is better.

[01:27:35:14]

[01:27:37:21]

Oh......I see...

[01:27:38:22]

[01:27:39:00]

Hey! Bring Granny to the town.

[01:27:41:04]

Her both eyes need to be operated.

[01:27:43:10]

[01:27:43:13]

I won't be able to go.

[01:27:45:11]

[01:27:45:12]

Why not?

[01:27:47:12]

[01:27:47:14]

I can't travel in a vehicle.

[01:27:49:23]

[01:27:50:01]

I can't put my feet in a vehicle.

[01:27:51:23]

[01:27:52:01]

Really?

[01:27:53:03]

I can not.

[01:27:54:11]

[01:27:55:02]

Let's check your eyes.

[01:27:58:12]

[01:27:59:06]

It's not good.

[01:28:00:11]

[01:28:00:14]

Can you see?

[01:28:01:11]

[01:28:01:14]

No, I can't.

[01:28:02:12]

[01:28:03:01]

Not very clear too.

[01:28:04:07]

[01:28:04:10]

Look to this side.

[01:28:07:01]

[01:28:07:03]

You should come for an operation.

[01:28:10:03]

[01:28:14:10]

Since when are you feeling this?

[01:28:16:13]

[01:28:16:16]

For some years.

[01:28:17:21]

[01:28:18:15]

Look to this side.

[01:28:20:02]

[01:28:23:14]

My eyes are not really good.

[01:28:26:14]

[01:28:31:23]

Always put sunglasses on.

[01:28:34:17]

[01:28:34:18]

Right Sir.

[01:28:35:16]

[01:28:53:05]

Put it on the side.

[01:28:55:01]

[01:28:56:23]

What you will do?

[01:28:58:05]

A traditional tent.

[01:28:59:11]

Oh, a Yak tent!

[01:29:01:02]

Yes.

[01:29:01:18]

[01:29:02:09]

You will be a good apprentice.

[01:29:04:21]

[01:29:04:23]

Old people are already sick, and the

young aren't interested.

[01:29:08:21]

[01:29:09:00]

It's good that I found you.

[01:29:13:02]

[01:29:13:03]

It is an important tradition.

[01:29:16:09]

[01:29:16:23]

Try to keep this interest inside you.

[01:29:20:08]

It's good for you, remember!

[01:29:22:05]

[01:29:22:13]

You should remember that modern items,

[01:29:25:17]

look beautiful but do not last.

[01:29:29:13]

[01:29:29:19]

I think you are good apprentice.

[01:29:33:14]

[01:29:33:16]

Thank you very much!

[01:29:36:03]

[01:29:55:18]

I had an apprentice.

[01:29:58:13]

I felt he was very interested in

learning the tradition.

[01:30:07:02]

but he also ran away.

[01:30:10:15]

[01:30:11:06]

What kind of people are these?

[01:30:13:10]

No one is interested in learning

the art.

[01:30:16:18]

[01:30:17:01]

What to do?

[01:30:19:05]

[01:30:19:08]

Who can make them undestand?

[01:30:22:01]

I will continue to work by myself.

[01:30:26:19]

[01:30:26:23]

If that boy comes back I will

teach him.

[01:30:31:09]

[01:30:31:12]

He showed some interest at least.

[01:30:37:08]

[01:30:37:16]

I will ask him again tomorow,

[01:30:41:08]

If he comes, I will teach him

properly.

[01:30:47:14]

[01:30:49:01]

This art will disappear when the old

people die.

[01:30:54:02]

I will not let it happen.

[01:30:58:01]

[01:30:58:03]

No, I will not let this tradition

disappear.

[01:31:00:19]

I will put all my efforts on it.

[01:31:02:16]

[01:31:02:19]

Isn't strange? He ran away.

How can I believe this?

[01:31:09:06]

[01:34:03:15]

Dorjay

[01:34:04:11]

[01:34:07:09]

I had a bad dream tonight.

[01:34:10:09]

[01:34:10:12]

I was lying among the mountains

of sand.

[01:34:14:01]

[01:34:14:03]

This dream is a sign of something very

important.

[01:34:19:02]

[01:34:19:03]

I must know what's happening.

[01:34:22:00]

[01:34:22:07]

I want to go to consult the oracle.

[01:34:25:19]

[01:34:25:21]

The winter is coming, you can't

make it.

[01:34:28:21]

[01:34:29:06]

It's a long distance and very cold.

You will have problems.

[01:34:34:04]

[01:34:34:13]

Don't worry, get our horse in the

morning

[01:34:38:12]

[01:34:38:17]

I'll go tomorrow.

[01:34:40:16]

[01:34:40:18]

All right, I will get the horse.

Get ready for the journey.

[01:34:45:13]

[01:34:45:16]

Father, take care.

[01:34:48:02]

[01:34:48:03]

Don't worry.

[01:34:49:11]

[01:34:49:13]

You must come back soon,

if it snows you will freeze.

[01:34:54:03]

[01:34:54:05]

Don't worry Son, nothing will happen.

[01:34:57:00]

Our horse is like the wind.

[01:34:59:05]

[01:35:09:18]

we don't have enough time to change.

[01:35:12:09]

[01:35:30:01]

There are no shoes.

[01:35:32:00]

[01:35:35:21]

The weather is not bad.

[01:35:38:11]

[01:35:43:23]

Father, take care and come back soon.

[01:35:47:02]

[01:35:47:03]

ok... son

[01:35:47:21]

[01:35:47:22]

I will be back soon.

[01:35:49:11]

[01:36:19:17]

I have traveled through this road all

my life.

[01:36:24:10]

[01:36:24:16]

and we always had to cross through

the water.

[01:36:28:21]

[01:36:29:02]

It's strange.

[01:36:30:17]

[01:36:31:00]

There is not even a drop of water

here.

[01:36:33:18]

[01:36:34:06]

Since my childhood there was water

here.

[01:36:37:01]

What will happen now?

[01:36:38:11]

[01:36:41:01]

The color of the mountains has

already changed,

[01:36:42:21]

[01:36:44:23]

Look at these valleys...

[01:36:48:16]

[01:36:48:23]

Strange!

[01:36:51:02]

[01:36:52:09]

This is not good.

[01:36:54:12]

[01:38:09:21]

Greetings.

[01:38:11:18]

[01:38:18:11]

What do you see?

[01:38:21:18]

Are they happy or in trouble?

[01:38:26:23]

[01:38:27:06]

It's a very difficult question.

[01:38:31:15]

[01:38:31:20]

Everyone is confused.

[01:38:35:12]

[01:38:35:17]

My feelings are against abandoning

our own place.

[01:38:45:12]

[01:38:56:15]

No one is going to find peace and

prosperity,

[01:39:02:23]

[01:39:03:01]

leaving behind your gods and

protectors.

[01:39:10:18]

[01:39:13:02]

Honor your gods,

[01:39:15:10]

[01:39:15:15]

and there will be prosperity again,

[01:39:20:19]

[01:39:20:22]

for your people and animals.

[01:39:28:05]

[01:40:31:21]

No one is going to find peace and

prosperity,

[01:40:38:05]

[01:40:38:07]

leaving behind your gods and

protectors.

[01:40:45:05]

[01:40:48:08]

My father, last winter we had a lot

of problems.

[01:40:52:07]

[01:40:52:12]

I don't want to live here.

[01:40:54:08]

[01:40:54:20]

My suffering never ends.

[01:40:57:19]

[01:40:58:23]

Honor your gods,

[01:41:01:12]

[01:41:01:17]

and there will be prosperity again,

[01:41:06:10]

[01:41:06:14]

for your people and animals.

[01:41:10:08]

[01:41:21:05]

I should be upset about what's

happening,

[01:41:24:23]

[01:41:25:18]

but now I feel only gratitude for

every moment of my life.

[01:41:31:09]

[01:41:38:23]

I can only think about the future

of my family,

[01:41:42:02]

[01:41:42:06]

and what I can do for them.

[01:41:46:10]

[01:41:53:10]

My Son,

[01:41:54:09]

[01:41:54:14]

I have an important thing to tell you.

[01:41:58:05]

[01:41:58:07]

I took a decision.

[01:42:00:08]

[01:42:00:14]

Everything I've built in this life,

I will give to you.

[01:42:05:00]

[01:42:05:04]

Father, if you give me all your

animals,

[01:42:09:13]

[01:42:09:21]

how will you live?

[01:42:12:04]

[01:42:12:09]

If you prosper, our whole family will

be prospering,

[01:42:15:22]

[01:42:16:02]

you don't need to worry.

[01:42:18:16]

[01:42:18:20]

If the resources are not enough for

all of us,

[01:42:22:06]

[01:42:22:08]

I'm the one who should move away.

[01:42:24:11]

[01:42:27:13]

I don't want to be a burden.

[01:42:29:21]

[01:42:29:23]

Father, you want to give me your

properties,

[01:42:31:20]

I am thankful.

[01:42:33:03]

But I have the desire to go to the

city.

[01:42:36:16]

[01:42:36:21]

I won't forget what you've said,

[01:42:38:20]

[01:42:38:21]

but it is my own idea to move,

[01:42:41:22]

[01:42:42:03]

work hard and stand on my own.

[01:42:45:13]

[01:42:45:15]

Son, you must listen.

[01:42:47:08]

[01:42:47:13]

I am an old man,

[01:42:49:13]

[01:42:49:15]

you are the one who can take care

of our people.

[01:42:53:01]

[01:42:53:09]

You are young, you have the strength,

[01:42:56:09]

you have the future ahead to lead

our people.

[01:43:00:14]

[01:43:00:17]

You must be thankful.

[01:43:02:05]

[01:43:02:13]

It's decided!

[01:43:04:19]

[01:46:25:11]

LEH CITY - LADAKH

[01:46:29:21]

[01:48:30:18]

Listen my son,

[01:48:32:09]

[01:48:32:17]

Look at the valleys and look at our

ancestral places.

[01:48:36:19]

[01:48:37:07]

Think of the animals, the pasture

lands,

[01:48:39:19]

[01:48:40:01]

the glaciers, the mountains, our own

birth place.

[01:48:43:11]

[01:48:46:09]

Think of our relatives, our

neighbors, our own people.

[01:48:51:09]

[01:48:51:16]

Don't let anyone disperse.

[01:48:53:19]

[01:48:54:00]

These are the words of my forefathers,

[01:48:57:12]

[01:48:57:15]

so I give you these words.

[01:49:00:09]

[01:49:27:16]

I'm not giving up my son,

[01:49:30:22]

[01:49:32:14]

no matter what happens, do not give up.

[01:49:47:13]

[01:49:52:23]

Over the last decade the

Himalayas have witnessed

[01:49:56:02]

[01:49:56:05]

the most dramatic temperature

rise of the planet.

[01:50:01:08]

[01:50:03:02]

Today,

the consequences of climate changes

[01:50:06:08]

[01:50:06:11]

are the biggest threats in the mountains.

[01:50:09:06]

[01:50:10:16]

More than 80% of the nomads

have already migrated to cities.

[01:50:16:16]

[01:50:18:08]

This is not only a local problem.

[01:50:22:09]

[01:50:24:18]

The Himalayan Glaciers feed

the major rivers in Asia,

[01:50:29:02]

[01:50:29:05]

being vital for the water supply

of 1.3 billion people.

[01:50:33:13]

the observation of nature"

Enigma Filmes is particulary grateful

to the people of Kharnak,

[01:51:57:04]

especially Dorjay family

for sharing their lives with us.
