ABOUT THE MOVIE
TV Documentary – Development
Shepherd is one of the oldest professions in the world. And despite the acceleration of our societies, excessive modernization, the development of digital technology in all its forms and globalization, there are still women and men, who choose pastoralism.
Being a shepherd means living alone with your animals in the middle of nature, but it also means managing a business, living the environmental challenges of our century on a daily basis, taking a step back from society. So, what happens when you are both a shepherd and a parent? What happens when you add a tribe of children to your flock of sheep?
