The Story of the Weeping Camel

This Movie is about a camel that has a white baby camel and doesn't want anything to do with it. It's filmed in Mongolia and follows the life of a family that herds camels and other animals. The family tries everything they can to get the mother camel to accept her baby so that it can feed it. Although this movie may not sound very interesting, it kept my attention and is overall worth watching. It is predictable but it is interesting to see what the Mongolia lifestyle is like and how it differs from American lifestyle.

One thing that i really enjoyed about the movie was that the family doesn't spend there time sitting around a T.V. or a computer, they spend time together by doing work with one another. They have fun by playing games with rocks and they sing together while sitting around in there huts. The family all lives next to one another in little huts. In the movie the family gets around by riding on the camels back, they have to travel a long distance to get to a town which has everything that you would need to live.

It's interesting to see how life is different from in Mongolia herders than it is as an American living in the city because they don't have many things as we do. The movie makes me thankful for the things i have and to not take them for granted. In the movie they don't even have a T.V., which the little boy in the movie really wanted. They also dress differently than we do because they wear robe like outfits and there pockets are on the inside unlike American clothes.

The movie was overall a good movie and i would suggest watching it. Although it might not seem very interesting, it is. If you enjoy watching documentaries then i would suggest this one. The ending however seems a little scripted because of the camel crying when accepting it's baby. Either way i thought the movie was touching.
