The Svans: A Georgian Community Living in Another Time | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@cyborgjorge]

I was here in Ushguli last week. There are actually quite a few tourists who pass through all summer. Lots of small restaurants, cafes, and guesthouses around to serve them. And there's a big cell tower that keeps everyone connected to the world year round. So it's not quite as remote as this doc makes out. Many of the surrounding smaller villages are more remote but not as picturesque for videos like this. In any case, it still feels like a place from the past, still feels quite special.

[@IceniBrave]

Pretty sure this documentary is fairly old. Many of the developments shown just starting here are quite well established now.

[@soniarose1983]

Was it a tour? Or did you just go yourself? I’m interested. Thanks from Australia

Saying that the wheel hasn't been invented there is just ignorant. Dragging a sled works much, much better on those hillsides, with more control of the load going downhill and is not much more difficult going uphill. Work sleds are safer for the animals hauling them and for the people as well. Wheels are expensive and require more maintenance and a specialized wheelwright to make them.

[@navdeepgusain3059]

Really surprised how close this resembles to remote mountain villages of my region in India. I come from Uttarakhand, a Himalayan state in India. Here we have these remote villages near the India-Tibet border located at altitude of well over 2000m. In winters, there is heavy snowfall. So many families move downhill but some do stay in the village. Agriculture is limited with primary crops being potato, carrot, pulses etc. Another thing that I found similar is ritual sacrifice. Here too sheeps or goats are sacrificed to goats whenever families movie from downhill to their villages at the start of spring. The meat is shared by all the village. Collective sharing is kind kf a norm and all the families help each other either to procure food or help wach other in difficult times. I guess mountain villages share resemblance all across the world.

Hopefully she will return and contribute her knowledge and strength to her community and work to make it a place where her sisters have equal access to opportunity and value.

I realize that it’s very hard work to live like this but the simplicity sounds so appealing and I’ll bet you won’t find any of them claiming to be depressed. There’s no time for being depressed bc everything that they have depends upon everyone of them to carry their load. I used to go live in a tent with my husband where we didn’t have any of the modern day amenities such as electricity and running water . We used wood to cook our family and to keep us warm in the winter. Those were some of the best days of my life. We got along beautiful as long as we were in the woods. We complimented each other in regards to how we worked together but we just couldn’t make it work when we left the simplicity of the woods. So a part of me is envious of the life they’re living! I actually think it’s easier than dealing with the myriad issues that come with living in the city!

There was the ocasional cattle thieves, girls were raped while going to river to do the laundry or garhering herbs, men killed each other in disputes and women and children were beaten.

Living as they do, you see that the children respect their parents, elders, and one another. They take pride in their ability to help one another. Though their life is hard, by modern standards, they are more robust and hardy than the average urban dweller. They seem to have an appreciation for life and family that is getting less apparent in Western societies as technology abounds.

When my children 6 sons and 1 daughter were young at home I canned no less than 2,000 jars of food each year. Looking at that small canning supply she has I do not know how it can feed a family for 6 months! It would not be enougj for 1 person for the long winter. 😢

You saw a part of their winter supplies, not all of it. They seem well fed and healthy, except for the iodine part.
