Guardians of Tundra

The tundra in Siberia is the home of the Nenets, who live traditionally even in the freezing cold. We met the Nenets kids in 2010, and ten years later, we met them again, who have reached their late teens now. These children are contemplating if they will stay in a city or go back to the tundra. The tundra is changing drastically due to climate change and gas development, causing reindeer to starve to death because they can’t find anything to eat. The creatures in the tundra rely on each other. Wild plants grow in a harsh environment, and reindeer feed themselves on those plants. Narrated by the actress Ko Hyun Jung, this documentary will give you an excellent opportunity to learn how the life of the nomads, which has lasted for thousands of years, is now facing a crisis and what kind of change they are going through.
