Why did I choose this DVD?
I really cannot believe I ordered this. The language is Chinese and subtitled in English. A story about a nomadic family. The story went nowhere and was of little interest to me.

Lassie in Mongolia
It’s basically a sweet but thin story about a girl and her dog. The story here is just an excuse to explore a way of life and it shows.
It’s all very well wanting to show the Mongolian Nomadic way of life (which is what the director wanted to do), in fact it’s good to show this life, but that shouldn’t be the prime reason for making a film, that should be the prime reason for making a documentary. The directores previous film, ‘The story of the Weeping Camel’, has much more substance to it.
