Tulpan - life on the steppes of modem-day Kazakhstan.

Amother vote for Grass, a documentary on the Bachtiari people of northwestern Iran.

Oh, Tulpan looks like one I would love! I really love that part of the world for some reason, and Mongolia. I don't know why I didn't see this one when it first came out. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

And I'm glad to see another fan of Grass, and I thank you for further clarifying the subject. Most people don't know what I'm talking about when I mention that film, let alone know that its makers, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, went on to produce King Kong, among many other Hollywood classics.

Btw, another Cooper/Shoedsack film from that same time that I also love is Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness (1927), set in a village in northern Siam.
