Made 50 years after the movie “Grass: A Nation’s Battle for Life” ([intlink id="1303" type="post"]read my review of Grass here[/intlink]), this movie is very different from its predecessor and is neither silent nor black-and-white. It does still follow the nomadic Bakhtiari people of western Iran on their great migration, but this movie is made in such a different way (and 50 years later). I think its a wonderful followup to “Grass.”

I’m not sure what made me think of this movie tonight, several years after watching it (and thinking about ordering it again because it was soooo good!)…but I just had to share it here tonight while I was thinking about it!

Awhile back I went on search for documentaries on nomads when my daughter and I started the “Story of the World” series, (volume 1, ancient world, which talks about nomads in the beginning of the book)…I found this absolutely fascinating silent black and white documentary from 1925.
