- In a village in the mountains of Sichuan in China, Erchema lives with her sister Zhuoma Lacuo in a community cut off from the world. This remote paradise is her whole life. But next fall she will turn 13 and, according to local tradition, Erchema will become a woman.
She belongs to the Na people, a matriarchal society which does not practice marriage, and where women make all the major decisions. Erchema has been designated as the next head of the family. She will have to cut short her schooling to work in the fields and help feed the family.
But on the other side of the mountains, on the shores of Lake Lugu, her elder sister Lamu has gone against tradition and the family’s wishes. She has married and has a child, whom she is raising with her husband. Lamu will go to any lengths to oppose the clan’s decision and to allow Erchema to continue her education. Will Erchema dare to defy tradition and change her future? The survival of the whole clan hangs on her decision…

Such wonder ful content. Could you please switch back to subtitles instead of dubbing it? Hearing the language is so important and adds so much.
Some people like to listen to these documentaries instead of watching them so they do it for them
Seeing impaired individuals are unable follow along in that case. It would be nice if they offered both options.
It's so nice to know that some indigenous traditions still exist...
Hurt me listening the teacher saying to kids that need leave the mountains
Yes I agree. More people need to turn back to the mountains and nature. Civilization is destroying the Earth!
Except for the nocturnal forest spirits this place seems like a nice place
What a beautiful place.
The Na people aren't the only matriarchal society in the world. There are quite a few, just to be clear.
I'M SO GLAD THIS IS LIKE THIS. IT SHOULD STAY THAT WAY.
I wish I could live a simple life like those who live on the mountain. They should beb careful what they wish for.
Look how men found this idea to escape from responsibilities!
It's matriarchal, but they still want to make all of the decisions
We have in Arunachal Pradesh as well 😊 but we do not belong to China though 😅 !
Rajya Sabha Channel has a documentary on it , it is a cross learning for me as well. We do have "na' but language , dress and even matrilineal society 😅 is not the same. Thank you , slice !

❤❤❤👌
I don’t know, that uncle is up to something sinister
Is it because he's being way too nice with the girls?
👍👍
It's easy to wish you were living in an authentic village when you are living with urban comforts.
Crazy how this world is
Neever thought about a simple life like this
By the way I think I seen this documentary before.
Why do you keep reposting old videos.
กรุณาเปิดคำบรรยายภาษา Thailand ให้ฉัน❤
If this is a matriarchal society, why should the men decide whether or not if the girls should go to school? It's matriarchal because the women do the majority of the work, so matriarchal only when needed...
Like the moms do in other house. Don't talk like it matters in your household or you are fantasizing yourself whipping your chained dog
😂😂😂
I wonder if the teacher would have challenged her in some way if she stated she's wanted to stay and work in the field instead of moving away fora teaching career... It really sounded like that teacher was pushing her belief systems on the class because she would have them repeat what the teacher felt was a good decision to make rather than staying in the mountains and living out their lives. I find it very sad when teachers push their narrative on their class. They're in a state of authority over those children and children are extremely impressionable. In matters such as this, it's best that these children make their decisions when they're older when their brains are more fully developed and can comprehend their consequences of their decisions better.
Teachers should how to better your community not to abandon it,kids can take better way of doing things parents would listen they are also worried about their kids and community future.
Leave the mountains, not a good teaching
modern society is chaos
Sure, modern life can be chaotic, but traditional ways of living are still very tough. There's probably a balance where tradition and modernity can work together 🤔
Free Tibet
It is already free 🤣🤣🤣
