By Daan Jongbloed -- Produced by Van Osch Films
The Pamir people in Tajikistan and Afghanistan are among the most isolated communities in the world. They live according to centuries old traditions. Slowly but surely the Western world enters this remote mountain area.
In Wisdom of the Mountains we travel through the Pamir Mountains together with Frederik van Oudenhoven. He is co-author of ‘With our own hands’, a book about traditional dishes and the food and farming culture of the Pamiri people. He brings his book back to its source. Frederik speaks with farmers about the changes they are facing: Are they staying true to their old traditions or will they - slowly but surely - adopt the Western influences?
