This visually stunning documentary provides an invaluable insight into the traditional cooperative lifestyle of the communities of Ladakh. However, this unique lifestyle is under threat from modernisation. "The breakdown of Ladakh’s culture and environment forces us to re-examine what we really mean by 'progress' - not only in the 'developing' parts of the world, but in the industrialised world as well. The story of Ladakh teaches us about the root causesof environmental, social and psychological problems, and provides valuable guidelines for our own future."
