Considered one of the earliest ethnographic documentaries, this silent film captures the seasonal migration of Persia’s nomadic Bakhtiari tribe as they lead their herds to fresh pastures. The tribe must traverse snow-capped mountain passes and hazardous terrain, making it a harrowing journey for both the people and the animals. The film was the first collaboration between Merian C. Cooper and cameraman Ernest B. Schoedsack who went on to make King Kong (1933). Introduced by Evan A. Liberman, Associate Professor of Film, Television, Interactive Media at CSU. Original score performed live by Iranian santour player Mahtab Nadalian. Hosted by the Cleveland Silent Film Festival. 71 min.
