Bhutan: Life Between the Middle Ages and the Modern World | Free Documentary
Watch 'The Mountains That Look Like Another Planet | Uganda
With one foot in the Middle Ages and the other in the digital age, the people of Bhutan face a unique balancing act. No country has experienced such rapid change in the new millennium as Bhutan. Television, the internet, and democracy arrived almost simultaneously in the last Himalayan kingdom. While the capital, Thimphu, is becoming one of the fastest-growing cities in Asia, just a few kilometers to the north, nearly 20,000 people still live as yak herders on the high plateaus of the Himalayas.
Young yak herder Tshewang must often leave his family for months at a time, climbing to altitudes above 5,000 meters in search of a legendary medicinal fungus. Five-year-old Dorji is sent away from his family to live in a monastery, as his parents struggle to make ends meet. Meanwhile, Choki, a dedicated organic farmer, is trying to bring new ideas and opportunities to her remote village. And at 73, archer Ap Chimi is struggling to find his place in a rapidly changing world.
