Mongolian nomads’ ultimate dilemma | SLICE I Full documentary

Nomads in Mongolia have always had an intimate relationship with wolves, and travelled with the wild canines. But as the Mongolian economy has boomed drastically, a dilemma is imposed upon the nomads; maintain their relationships with nature, or cave in to the overwhelming force of the economy.

Faced with the conundrum is a shepherd Purevjav. Wolves have been killing his livestock to feed themselves, and Purevjav is well aware of the value the wolves’ pelts hold if exported. To sustain his family, Purevjav is pressed to hunt the pack of wolves he considers scared.

Grandson: Is the wolf a devil or an angel, grandpa?
Grandpa: Wolf is both. Just like man!
What an old man! #respect😊💚💚

The young girl holding a deer in the sunset plain really is poetic...The film is nostalgic appreciation for the nomadic lifestyle which is fast disappearing all over the world

[Psalm.Tehellyim]

I cried with the old man. Much respect to him for releasing the cubs, and to his family for not being a burden to the earth.

"Is Wolf an angle or devil?" "Both, just like man" what a true meaningful description of what we've become

[acspore]

Epic video of an old-time Mongolian warrior & the life he is born into, 100 times better than any Hollywood movie, real life beats fake plot every time!

[goodwong]

Seeing him cry for the extinction of wildlife is so precious. The production is worth an award

Such a beautiful documentary . The old man is so wise and although they killed the wolves, the nomads have such respect for the power of the animal. Letting go of the cubs to save them from Chinese slaughter is so noble . He has no greed for money although his family is in much need of it . The world needs such compassion, empathy and respect for nature .

As a Mongol, I was grateful to watch this documentary. We are truly the last nomads.

[andacomfeeuvou]

I'm not against all the medical and scientific progress of our civilization, but watching this documentary makes me feel nostalgic for a time when nature was more present in human life. A beautiful documentary.

I am Mongolian and I hope that you see the beauty in our country life and our culture. We are not Chinese and we are not Russian, We are Mongolians, the real Nomads.

[amanjolmuratbek]

I am from Mongolia. I have a life similar to this. I'm abroad right now, I watch videos like this from time to time because I miss my country.

I am an Arab Bedouin from the south of the Arabian Peninsula and I respect the brave Bedouins of the Mongols, they suffer many hardships, they are truly amazing ❤🇸🇦🇲🇳❤

[supreme_nova]

As a Mongolian, I am proud of this old man

[lukestevens]

This is incredible film-making. Following these people at length. The fact that he can call out like a wolf and get a wolf to reply and come out of the forest...staggering

[Ronaldo-liqg]

I just came back from nomadic region in Kyrgyzstan where I had the chance to experience a little bit of their Life … this brings tears to my eyes … joy, simplicity and gratitude these people have is exceptional! Can’t wait to visit Mongolia 🇲🇳

[adikshionphotographer]

I can't stop crying. I am mongol and my parents sheepherder too. I am missing them lot. This old man much like my father and his way to love the nature and our culture is incredible . Best documentary ever! Thank you SLICE.

[delavan]

Amazing how he taught the pups to hunt before releasing them. And that he knew how to teach them. Few people would even have a clue.

[r.casagrande]

This old Mongolian shepperd/warrior is one of the most honored person I've seen. Bless him, his family and all things he has done.

[randynesbit]

This video is a work of Art. The ending where he set the wolf cubs free was beautiful and a perfect way to end it.

[gmarr.]

I cried with the Old Man. I don't know how but I feel in my heart and mind what he feels when he speaks his heart and mind. I wish I was living in his kind of nature. I wish I had the privilege to talk to a wise man as this Old Man.
