As young film makers in 1925, before they became famous for making King Kong in 1933, Cooper and Schoedsack made a reality documentary of the Persian Bakhtiari tribe. Survival meant the tribe must take their animals from winter desert grass to high mountain summer grass and then back again. Twice a year, the 50,000 people and their 500,000 animals cross snow, rock, and ice clad mountains running with glacier streams and rivers. The migration takes six weeks each way. These are tough people. Barefoot, weather-hardened, and strong, they make Extreme Sports Marathons look staged. No aspirin, no Prozac, and no thermal underwear. This is life before any modern convenience. It's an absolutely amazing window into timelessness. Stunningly beautiful photography of a fiercely determined people to survive against all odds. A MUST SEE for anyone who wonders about Moses and Israel wandering through the Wilderness. It's nearly unbelieveable, yet nothing has changed in thousands of years. Kudos to Cooper and Schoedsack for searching out the tribe and for being the first outsiders to cross the pass with them. Double kudos for recording it.Read full review
