Locho and his wife Yama live in Dzachukha, eastern Tibet - nicknamed '5-most' by the Chinese for being the highest, coldest, poorest, largest, and most remote county in Sichuan Province. They depend on their herd of yaks for survival, much as their ancestors have for generations. In recent years however, Dzachukha has undergone rapid development, and Locho and Yama are finding their traditional way of life increasingly more difficult to maintain.&nbsp;<div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Summer Pasture </i>evolves as a patient exploration of Locho and Yama's personalities, relationship, and the changes taking place around them. Over its course we witness their travails with illness, infidelity, and the dissolution of their community. In the face of mounting challenges, Locho and Yama ultimately reveal the personal sacrifice they will make to ensure their daughter's future. With rare access to a highly insular community, <i>Summer Pasture</i> is at once a deeply personal account of a vanishing way of life and a universal story of family survival.</div><div><br /></div><div>SELECTED AWARDS AND SCREENINGS</div><div>Peabody Award Winner</div><div>Independent Lens (National PBS Broadcast)</div><div>Grand Prix Nanook, Jean Rouch International Film Festival (Paris)</div><div>Grant Jury Prize, Italy Trento Film Festival</div><div><div>International Premiere, Locarno Film Festival, Critic's Week</div><div>World Premiere and Inspiration Award Honorable Mention, Full Frame Documentary Film Festival</div><div>RAI Award Special Jury Commendation, Royal Anthropological Institute Film Festival (London)&nbsp;</div></div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/walker-nelson-c801all.aspx">Walker, Nelson</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
