"This is a beautiful film of rural life in Mongolia. Carefully-constructed and thoughtfully paced, it really conveys the essence of what is today almost an ideal - the herding family's calm existence."

- Professor Caroline Humphrey, Cambridge University, UK

" (Highest Rating). An utterly fascinating glimpse into a way of life that very few Americans will ever have the opportunity to experience firsthand. With the help of a glorious, simple soundtrack, what we observe on the screen almost takes on a mystical, hypnotic quality. Christopher McKee has done a beautiful, beautiful job. Worthy of Oscar consideration."

- Todd David Schwartz, CBS Radio

"Simply beautiful."

- Peter Baxter, Co-Founder & President, Slamdance Film Festival
