  • At an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters, Sking is one of the most isolated villages in the Himalayan region of Zanskar. In just three months, from August to October, the Zanskaris have to harvest and store all their food for the coming year. All the women-young and old alike-work nonstop, from dawn to dusk, and worry about the arrival of winter.
    Filmed from the point of view of a subjective camera by a young female ethnologist, "Himalaya, Land of Women" offers a sensitive and poetic immersion in the life of four generations of women during harvesting season. We share their rare intimacy and gradually grow attached to them.
    "Himalaya, Land of Women"
    Direction: Marianne Chaud
    Production: ZED & ARTE France - Manuel Catteau, Thierry Garrel & Pierrette Ominetti

I hope she experiences the plane ride at some point in her life. The great grandmother, blind and still working the fields at 80 years old. I was sad when she died, she is such an inspiration.

    What to comment here, I am speechless after seeing this video. Best Documentary I have ever seen. By the way, I live in Germany & I am from INDIA. Never thought of High altitude villages in the Himalayas. I born & brought up in South India. we have so much to live happily & we waste food, we save so much money for next next next generations but never think of sharing with anyone. Thank you so much for this documentary. Namaskaram

    The Jammu and Kashmir government hardly cared for these people in Ladakh region because they're mostly nomadic and do not follow Islam (mostly Buddhists and Hindus). I am thankful that the Indian government established Ladakh as a separate UT under direct central rule which would bring in necessary development work.
    Indian government must ensure full protection of these vulnerable people and their culture.
