Since the beginning of time, nomadic people have roamed the earth. Looking for food to feed their herds. Searching for an existence and freedom. Living in the wild, in mountains and deserts, on tundras and on ice. Earth in the 21st century is a crowded place, roads and cities are everywhere. Yet somehow, these people hold on to traditions that go back to the very beginning of human civilization.
Will their way of life survive threats like; globalization, border conflicts, oil and gaz extraction and alcoholism?
