Most Dangerous Ways To School | MONGOLIA | Free Documentary

The ice covering the river is treacherous and ever-changing in appearance. Despite this, Tuguldur has to find a suitable point at which to cross the river. The 10-year-old nomadic boy rides his horse alone to school and each time must cross the frozen Tunkhel river in the north of Mongolia. His school day begins in the afternoon. Because the sun has softened the ice on some parts of the river’s surface, he cannot trust the ice everywhere. One wrong decision and his horse could slip on the ice - with him on its back - or break through into the cold water below. Even if he were to remain unhurt in such a situation, little Tuguldur would not manage to get back on the horse’s saddle by himself.

For nomadic Mongolian girl Delgertsetseg, the route to school is equally difficult. The 12-year-old starts school early, when the thermometer at her home shows -30 degrees Celsius. Her father delivers her into the village under moonlight, through deep ruts and slippery snow slopes. Due to the possibility of sliding on the ice and the obvious associated dangers, the police have banned the use of motorbikes in villages during the winter months. However, Delgertsetseg’s father has no other choice - he does not have the money for a safer car.

What these two nomadic children have in common is their eager anticipation for the warm and ice-free spring, even though they have to overcome the hardships of this school route the day before the traditional Mongolian New Year.

I am Mongolian. I am glad to see that our children are still being raised with loving care and discipline.

I am Mongolian too. This documentary takes me back to my childhood time. We used to walk to school and home even though it’s freezing cold. Sometimes we froze our cheeks and fingers. That time I hate cold but now I am proud of the way we used to survive. It is incredible memory. Also it made children grow strong. Proud of being mongolian

Delgertsetseg the 12 year old girl will forever remember and cherish those motorcycle rides with her farther. Simple everyday things are the most treasured memories.

I think these videos should be showed in every school. U.S. and Canada

The 10-year-old nomadic boy riding his horse for 10KM is my hero!!!

The boy and his horse, brave young man.

[SueMaha]

If only I could be half as smart and courageous as this little boy. Wow, he is truly an inspiration. And the parents in these videos should be given a gold medal.

[zymonch]

Wow! The 10y/o boy was so brave to travel by himself, to think that he can’t even get up on the horse alone.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
God bless these children.🙏

What makes me so happy about this video is that even when the children are raised in such harsh conditions, they still find some reason to smile and enjoy their adventure.
Humble souls who have learnt to appreciate life and all it gets to thrown at them.
These documentaries really warm my heart☺️☺️☺️☺️.

Who else started watching this while the Quarantine is going on.

[idrzyts.]

Thank you so much for showing my country so accurately and clearly. This is the best documentary of Mongolia I watched so far!
But people who are are watching this gotta remember that this is a small village of Mongolia and we have big cities that have better circumstances. Cause some foreigners seems to be visualising whole Mongolia like shown in this documentary.
Thank you again for your effort and hardwork!
