Directed by Manchhiring Tamang, documentary ‘A Day in the Life of a Himalayan Shepherd’ is based on the day of a shepherd of a northernmost part of Nepal’s Dhading district.
The documentary focuses on a Tamang community; an ethnic group that depends on cattle rearing for the last three centuries.
The film features shepherd from this culturally rich community who is in dilemma whether to ask his children to continue his profession or to let them find opportunities elsewhere.
The documentary will be shown at the 2019 Colony Short Film Festival beginning March 1 in Ohio.
