Khadak: An Epic Shamanic Film

This beautiful film contrasts the spiritual vitalities of shamanism with the dehumanizing rigors of industrial capitalism. Set in the frozen steppes of contemporary Mongolia, Khadak tells the epic story of Bagi, a young nomad confronted with his destiny to become a shaman. A plague strikes the animals and the nomads are forcibly relocated to desolate mining towns. Bagi saves the life of a beautiful coal thief, Zolzaya, and together they reveal the plague was a lie fabricated to eradicate nomadism. A sublime revolution ensues. View the trailer or the entire film.
