The Story of the Weeping Camel (2003) 87 min. In the Gobi desert four generations of herders lives a tough, plain life. A camel gives birth but refuses to accept the calf. They care for the calf, try to hand-feed it, and decide to send for a musician, who may make the camel accept the calf, and if it does, the camel will weep. A gentle docudrama of the ways of a family…a gentle, unobtrusive look at a way of life far different from ours. Rated PG. In Mongolian, with subtitles.
