  • At an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters, Sking is one of the most isolated villages in the Himalayan region of Zanskar. In just three months, from August to October, the Zanskaris have to harvest and store all their food for the coming year. All the women-young and old alike-work nonstop, from dawn to dusk, and worry about the arrival of winter.
    Filmed from the point of view of a subjective camera by a young female ethnologist, "Himalaya, Land of Women" offers a sensitive and poetic immersion in the life of four generations of women during harvesting season. We share their rare intimacy and gradually grow attached to them.
    "Himalaya, Land of Women"
    Direction: Marianne Chaud
    Production: ZED & ARTE France - Manuel Catteau, Thierry Garrel & Pierrette Ominetti

      I wonder why the french woman didn't tell them that there are few parents left in the west and divorce is everywhere? And women dont really breastfeed in the west they use plastic bottles. I noticed she pushed the part where women decide whom to marry. That was thee only truth. Looks like shes infecting these humble people with failed western thinking.

    "We work hard. We work and then, we die." Spoken with a broad smile, a whistle, a grunt as she lifts a burden that would stagger most Westerners. These people live in what would appear to be squalid poverty but seem richer by far than most people pursuing wealth in urban drudgery, alone in their crowds. I very much enjoyed this film.

Turned out she was at the end of her life and worked until the very end but when she asked for her sheepskin to lay down on as the grass was prickly, the journalist did nothing. I found that quite heartbreaking.

    I felt both awed and sad during different points in this beautiful video. The "sister" who is only 13, yet works so hard....knowing there is the potential for another kind of life out there. I hope she experiences the plane ride at some point in her life. The great grandmother, blind and still working the fields at 80 years old. I was sad when she died, she is such an inspiration. They all are such happy people. We could take a lesson from them in that you don't need much to make you smile.

    I was crying a while ago because I felt I didn't achieved some things that I've targeted, even though life is good, I felt sad because I want more, and for whatever reason, TH-cam recommended this documentary to me and I felt so guilty. I'm not rich but I think I lived comfortably but I'm not contented. And I watched these two women dancing and singing and proclaiming their happiness in the mountains, that life is good, they have butter milk yogurt and cheese. Seriously??? Omg I felt I was slapped in the face 😭🥺

    Beautiful. I’m really pleased to stumble onto this film maker. Their remoteness protects their way of life and in essence their life is simple and uncomplicated. The Indian Government should look to protect these lands from commercialism but at the same time provide education and medical facilities.
