In Mongolia, Amra’s father, the chief of the last nomades, is campaigning against international mining companies, excavating for gold in the steppes. After his death in a tragic accident, his son takes it upon himself to carry on with the struggle but with the means of a boy of 12 ...
“It was a point of honour for me to bring up the exploitation of the steppes, the uprooting of the nomads, with the water sources drying up and the destruction of the countryside.

Positive and long-lasting change can only come about through a dialogue between generations.” B. Davaa
