The Story of the Weeping Camel is a 2003 Mongolian documentary. It came out in 2004. The movie was written by Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni. It’s about a family of nomadic shepherds in the Gobi desert trying to save the life of a rare white colt after it was rejected by its mother. I found this video to be very inspirational. I also found it odd that the treatment actually worked and it made me wonder if maybe it was merely coincidence that the Camel decided to accept it's colt during the ritual. It was a very interesting movie and I enjoyed watching it. This is definitely a movie about keeping with something and never giving up, the way the family never gave up on the colt. They did everything they could to reunite the colt with it's mother and in the end they accomplished their goal. Congratulations, Mongolian family."In the spring of the Gobi Desert, in South Mongolia, a nomadic family of shepherds has troubles when one camel has a tough two days delivery, immediately rejecting the offspring. The family unsuccessfully uses their best efforts trying to force the female to accept and feed the newborn. When there is no further hope of saving the animal, they send their two sons to bring a musician from the nearest town to perform a ritual and save the colt."
