Purchase Mongolia RPCV Chris McKee's movie Mujaan (The Craftsman), a vivid window to a disappearing way of life in one of the most remote corners of the world.
On the distant steppes of Mongolia, using only simple tools, strength and ingenuity, a nomad builds a home much the way his ancestors have for the past one thousand years.
Mujaan (The Craftsman) is a vivid window to a disappearing way of life in one of the most remote corners of the world.
"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
Features:
Mujaan - 25 minutes
Elements of Mujaan - six 3 minute shorts by Amy Reed
Commentary Tracks - with archaeologist Jeannine Davis-Kimball, editor Adam Heller & producer Chris McKee
