THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL

I was totally moved by the National Geographic documentary The Story Of The Weeping Camel. It was about a remote village in Mongolia where the people depend on their camels for a number of things: one of the camels gives birth to a colt and then rejects it. I was totally affected by the sadness of child rejected by its mother - it was more than just the fact that it needed its mother's milk to survive.  And I was also moved by the role that music played in the attempt to remedy the situation. 

It's not a fast moving action flick, but I recommend it highly for those who love animals, or music, and who have attention spans.
