The Weeping Camel

I have just returned from seeing a wonderful movie, The Weeping Camel. I have no idea what its route is after it leaves Perth's International Arts Festival, but if you can, see it. There are preview snippets at (deleted to save the shape of this blog).

This is a quote from their official website:

Springtime in the Gobi Desert, South Mongolia. A family of nomadic shepherds assists the births of their camel herd. One of the camels has an excruciatingly difficult delivery but, with help from the family, out comes a rare white colt. Despite the efforts of the shepherds, the mother rejects the newborn, refusing it her milk and her motherly love. When any hope for the little one seems to have vanished, the nomads send their two young boys on a journey through the desert, to a a backwater town in search of a musician who is their only hope for saving the colt's life.
