Set against a background of barren expanses, this film by Middlebury filmmaker and health worker Sas Carey immerses the viewer in a different world. Five nomadic women share their lives in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert. These are women whose lives are much the same as their ancestors’ of 3000 years ago—as the filmmaker describes them, “women who still hum with the song of the soul passed down from their grandmothers.” Through interviews that span four years, the film captures the rhythms of the harsh daily life of Gobi women and their families. Life here depends on connection—connection with the environment, community and family. Also showing: I WAS A DANCER by Jason Whiton (5 minutes). Post-film event: Filmmaker Sas Carey will discuss the film after both shows. Sponsored by Union Institute and University. Community Partner: Vermont Commission on Women. No rating, 70 minutes.
