Description

In Mongolia, Munkhjargal dreams of following in both her father’s and her ancestors’ footsteps as a horse trainer. Unfortunately, her entire way of life is threatened by a once rare but increasingly common phenomenon of extreme and unrelenting cold known as dzuds, which is forcing Mongolian herders to rethink their nomadic way of life.
