KHADAK

PETER BROSENS, JESSICA WOODWORTH | BELGIUM, NETHERLANDS, GERMANY | 101 MIN | 2006

In this surreal odyssey set against the austerely beautiful Mongolian steppes, young herder Bagi’s nomadic lifestyle is upended when he and his family are forcibly relocated to a bleak coal-mining community. Haunted by prophetic visions, Bagi joins up with a band of scrappy rebels to resist the authoritarian forces clamping down on their way of life.
