    • Ends abruptly -- even holding on that last image and fading out more slowly might help. But interesting story -- brings a new perspective to the popular image of these people. GL from me.

    • A nice look at how globalization and modernization are affecting traditional cultures. The audio is a bit harsh at the beginning. You don't want to lose your audience, especially at the top because of bad audio. I also wanted to hear a little more about traditional nomadic life so that I could really understand how drastically life has changed for these people.
