- Samucha lives in the Georgian mountains of Tusheti. Proud and brave, Samucha looks like an American cowboy. He’s a fabulous horse rider, a shepherd, a musician, singer, and storyteller.
His name is legend and he has led a tough existence, living mostly outdoors in the Caucasian mountains, against harsh weather conditions and sometimes dangerous wildlife.
This year, like every springtime, Samucha migrates with his flock of 2,000 sheep to reach the high plains of the Caucasus, located at an altitude of 4,000 meters. But he feels tired and old. After this season, it will finally be time for him to retire. He will spend the summer on the plateau accompanied by his two sons, David and Kwiria, to whom he will hand over his herd. Their time has come to be true Caucasian shepherds like their father, who hopes they will be worthy enough to perpetuate the traditions of their ancestors.
A beautiful story of transmission in the breathtaking landscapes of the Caucasus!

Dang man, started with 10 sheep and now he has left his sons a fortune of sheep. The Lord has blessed this man!
Excellent video. Hard working and generous father. I hope the boys take good care of him.👍😁
Life of the shepherds were same everywhere. Tough life but very happy.
This reminds me a lot of the country where I come from. We have a old house in a village where once my fathers family lived. In it was living only 1 person, the last resident. He said to me that to be a shepherd is very good but he can not stands being lonely, he has a wife a twin daughters living in the nearby city, they makes visits to him only in summer, (the school vacation days).
Few years ago, he could not stand it and sold his sheep and moved out to the city, last thing I heard from my father is that he works in some factory, I can imagine how hard that transition is to him. He may be lucky to be near his family, but to be honest younger people today do not feel the same.
In my opinion, this old shepherd sons will with 95% certainty sell their sheep and move out from the mountains to purchase "happiness" in nearby urban areas. The sad truth is that younger generations, the moment they see or hear about the "comfort lives" in the cities, have difficulties staying in the mountains. The women especially, and without the females the males can not stand isolation.
We exchange our freedom for comfort. In a mountains a shepherd has a animals to take care of and in the cities you are living in the herd and the shepherds take care of you, that is the people who own the city... freedom should be untradeable.
P.S: I do not even want to begin with commenting which lifestyle and food is healthier. Id like to try that milk,...
Dobar kom brat
Sheep cheese is very good. We have a friend who milks a hundred sheep to make cheese and sells the yarn from the fleeces. We help with the skirting at shearing. Nice to look at all that wool and rough grade it. That grey horse seems a handful. Too bad there isn't a happy medium to make it a little easier so the sons can stay shepherding. Hope he doesn't get too bored. A few trips up the mountain good idea. At least to clear his lungs.
Enjoyed a lot watching this video. There are everything in this video all the characters, adventure, comedy, love, tradition even tragedy. I like the characters of the patriarch. He looks like a western movie hero, and also his wife so humble. I like the spirit of the old lady who visited the mountains after 30 years.
Interesting and beautiful..............also sad. I hope his boys carry on his tradition.
Just loved this. I just loved the old man! Very interesting & beautiful place I too love the mountains. I pray he lives a long healthy peaceful life with and his wife & sons. I wonder if his sons have children & if they have interest to be a shepherd.? Gods blessings over them all.
Cheers, well done, these hard-working folks are to be marveled @! My uncle back in the 60s had over 300 sheep in the highlands (Scotland) I was a young lad but I recall
the hard work it took, these Georgian folks are simply awesome !
Best way to refresh your self is to watch free of cost documentary on slice... 🥰🥰🥰
A most interesting documentary. Well filmed. Interesting family culture. Great work. Thank you.
Amazing life, human and the documentary. Thanks Slice for sharing.
A wonderful documentary the mountains and people and animals are great blessed everyone of them God amen
Living according to nature and it's pace, thank you for sharing Slice.
a peaceful and large plateau, sheep freely graze young grass, thank you for sharing good and meaningful videos.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Excellent quality documentary. It deserves to be extended. Both the Georgia region and the customs of the shepherds were well portrayed. Congratulations to the documentary filmmakers.
A true and heart touching story of a brave shepherd, as this is his story of descendency, so is the story of everyone of us. We are born to die, we get young to become old. As Pope said.
Ah! Since alas frail beauty must decay.
Beautiful Georgia!
I love watching these video's. The story is real, no made up story line, people are not actors. I also hope the boys take good care of their father. It must be quite an adjustment from the mountains to the city life. God bless him on his new journey with his family close.
Thank you for posting this interesting, wonderful video. They live a hard life.
მადლობა ფილმის ავტორს, შესანიშნავი ნამუშევარია. კარგადაა გადმოცემული მეცხვარის რთული ცხოვრება ოჯახურ ურთიერთობებთან შერწყმული. ფილმს კიდევ უფრო ალამაზებს თუშეთის არაჩვეულებრივი კადრები.
Really beautiful documentary. His sons were sad they were surprised that his father was leaving them.
What a fantastic video. Congratulation to those wonderful people.
Right in the midst of loving this doc,the woman traveling by herself for 3 days to see her mts,relatives again,by horse......POW! An ad interrupts all with advice on how to get rid of your sun spots,then Spanx.....what an 👁️ opener....no treadmill,pelaton workouts necessary here in these mts.....☮️
Great documentary, loved it!💖
I can almost guarantee these sons will NOT be doing this job. 😁 Love Samucha!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing ❣
Wholesome ! Reminded me of the shepherds of Gujarat, India :) Especially when he was singing ! They are as proud of their culture n traditions! The only difference is Gujrati n Rajasthani shepherds who are called Bharwad n Ahir community are Pure Vegetarians n cows are their Mother cow :) they keep Sheep, Goat n Camel too but all for wool n milk products Only.
In future I'd like to see a documentary of this sons
Great documentary film.
Hard and harsh lives of shepherds...I wish if they could be accompanied by their wives time to time coz isolation for human character is not so good....however each n every culture has their own ways....
SLICE I do follow your lovely videos which brings many glimpses of different shapes of lives, cultures and much much more....it gives and reach to those hearts at least from distance and get wider knowledge about them.Appreciate your honest and wonderful pieces of work, they are real Artistry ....❤️🌻😊
You doing the right thing give when some responsibility and go spend your last years with your wife and enjoy life!!!!! ☺♥

Nice work, I enjoyed watching it ..
A kind of a documentary or a life lesson ...
The castle tumbledown in the backgrounds… whoa
I am going back to mountain where Gramma was born and pass in her home one day 🙏❤️
The sons are handsome 😘
Really enjoyed this video.
Sheep's milking job is so nice
An update about how they are doing now and then will be nice 👍 please
Ooh that's may life when I was 8year old in somali
Now Shamuca is going home. He’s getting depressed because he’s not among his sheep anymore. His depression is going to make him getting drunk again and again. He would be lucky if he gets to 70 years old. He should have stayed with his sons until he died. He would live at least 90 years old
Life!
I hope he sings in this one... This is a different one than the other I saw this man in before right?
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Yimak bosqu👍👍

43:17 min in..😆😆 ... This guy😂😂😎😎
Verrei Volentieri A Farti Compagnia Ciao🌹❤️
Already things have changed so much, the cheese is not matured inside an inside out sheep skin anymore, plastic is used instead, resulting in an inferior product that is more cream cheese than the traditional goudda cheese of the Caucasian mountains.
The musicianship in this film is horrid! Samucha plays the accordion just how a 4 year old would.
nice music but your singing is a bit to harsh and loud hehe
Which country
Are you able to read? Why not read then?
Detox from the American BLM TV fatigue
Sure will like to taste that cheese
Now he don’t have much to live ,,, he is going to He’s wife 😂
